BY BILLY BURNS
Hobo No-no is an original play written for marionette theater that follows the Depression-era tribulations of Chicago hobo "Memphis" Tim, as he attempts to bravely run away from the National Guard, boxcar psychotics, short-tempered rail yard bulls, and his own personal demons. The action unfolds across the landscape of 1930s America, on ten elaborate sets, with eighteen puppets .
Billy Burns is a craftsman working in wood, ink, steel cable and theater. He has constructed sets, props and special effects for Richard Foreman, the Wooster Group, the Builders Association, Young Jean Lee, Richard Maxwell, the Improbable Theater Company, the NTUSA, Elevator Repair Service, Jeanette Oi-Suk Yew, Joseph Silovsky, Radiohole, and many others.
He also has experience in puppeteering, puppet building, mechanical toy theater construction, stop-motion animation and live performance.
Recently, he performed (with marionette) in The National Theater of the United States of Americas Chautuaqua! at P.S.122, and served as Technical Director on Soho Reps production of Sarah Kanes Blasted (Obie winner for set design).
Hobo No-no is his first attempt at marionette theater. It was presented as a work in progress at St. Anns Warehouse, as part of their mini-festival, Labapalooza.
