Below are some sneak peek photos of Ronnie Burkett’s incredible marionettes and their costumes. they have yet to be painted, individually, by hand, but many of the costumes, bodies and tiny shoes are complete. See the finished marionettes in the Maclab Theatre this September, fully painted, clothed and strung.

Watch for more great behind-the-scenes photos as rehearsals kick into full swing.
