“If I had to pick only one favourite piece of theatre from this year, Wonderful Joe was it.” – Globe & Mail 

A singular and world-class talent, Ronnie Burkett brings his signature style to the Warehouse where he has wowed audiences with previous hits such as Provenance, Happy and Tinka’s New Dress

Joe and his dog Mister lose their home, and facing separation, head into the world for one last grand adventure. The world seems broken, but Joe sees magic in the mundane, beauty amid brutality, and life in the lost and lonely. A seemingly simple tale of a simple man, Wonderful Joe is a tender nod to imagination, hope, and the art of filling broken hearts with gold. 

Running time: 
Approx. 95 mins (no intermission)


Wonderful Joe was created with the support of The Explore and Create Programme of the Canada Council for the Arts.
