He was recycling many of his bit pieces. In fact he comes out and announces that he doesn't exactly know which of his puppets will arrive on stage for that performance -- it will be up to the audience. Edna from Turnip Corners, Alberta, always makes an appearance though.<br /><br />Long after the performance was over, Rebecca and I were discussing either jokes, or the politics of what Burkett does.<br /><br />He had a funny line in his Canadian vs U.S. pieces. He said that in the U.S. they have something Canadians don't know about called show (long pause) business. He had taken his hands and put show metaphorically on one side of the stage and business on the other.<br /><br />Then he said in Canada we have the word grant in between.<br /><br />Of course this is funny to us, for we all know that the arts exists because of the incredible grants that the government gives out.<br /><br />Well ... enough of Burkett. I am writing all of the possible places to go in the next few weeks. I wonder if A Winter's Tale is coming your way. I think Salmon Arm does opera and ballet, only.

For Halloween she dressed as a marionette with sticks above her and strings attached to her elbows and wrists. So clever.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070996448836952163noreply@blogger.com
