Richard "Richie" Dunne,

a professional singer, actor and writer from Brooklyn, New York, has combined his love of fifties rock and roll music and puppets and brought them to life with this delightful children's series, "THE LEGEND OF THE CLOWNS' ROCK AND ROLL REVUE." Weaned on puppets and rock and roll music, Richie was six years old when he saw a television set for the very first time...

"'The Howdy Doody Show' was on and it was very popular with kids," says Richie. "When I was eleven, I was a contestant on 'The Rootie Kazootie Club,' another popular puppet show in the early 1950's."

At fifteen, he was singing rock and roll music on the street corners of Brooklyn and later became an actor, securing a coveted spot in The Queensboro Players and the starring role in Jerome Rosenberg's award winning play, "The Bluebird of Happiness" which toured in New York City for over two years.

When not working with kids and puppets, Richie still acts and sings professionally, mostly performing in tribute shows as Elvis, Roy Orbison and other rock and roll legends.

Eileen Dunne

is Richie's wife and a very important member of Little Lamb Productions, their in-house production company which overseas all the many details of producing a puppet show. She lends a helping hand to everything that needs doing, including acting chores. She played the role of "Sweetpea" in Episode One of "THE LEGEND OF THE CLOWNS' ROCK AND ROLL REVUE" and is slated to appear in a future episode or two.

"I really prefer to work behind the scenes and not in front of the camera," says Eileen. "Design work and puppet-making are more to my liking and I enjoy the challenge of creating a puppet from a drawing that my husband, Richie, has given me. I've also been called upon to be a puppeteer when necessary." Fun loving and outgoing, Eileen provides much of the laughter that surrounds the entire production process.

MEET SOME OF THE YOUNG PERFORMERS AND STARS OF "the little kids' puppet theater"

Miss Brandi Brooks

is nine years old and the talented grandaughter of Eileen and Richie. She started acting and performing at age four, and has appeared in several stage shows with her grandparents. She played the role of Little Beebleberry in, "THE CLOWN'S ESCAPE FROM CLONE CIRCUS," which was Episode One of, "THE LEGEND OF THE CLOWNS' ROCK AND ROLL REVUE."

Brandi is a multi-talented youngster who, in addition to working on the puppet shows is an artist in her own right. Her cartoon character renditions and paintings are shought after by everyone who sees them.

"She definitely has a future careet as an artist if she chooses to," says Grandpa Richie. "She draws these delightful cartoon characters and horses that are wonderful. People just love them."

Though she'll never admit it and don't tell her we told you, but Brandi has a secret crush on Little Ricky. S'hhhh.

Brandi will appear in several future episodes of, "THE LEGEND OF THE CLOWNS' ROCK AND ROLL REVUE."

Master Luke "Lucky" Duncanson

is five years old and the younger brother of Brandi. Although only five, "Lucky" has already been described as "Star Material" by several of the adult actors and others associated with the show.

Luke plays one of "The Boys in Black," one of the characters who pop up from time to time to work with The Clowns. His favorite Clown Puppet is Larro La Rodeo, and "Little Lukie," as he is know, has been seen on occasion dressing up exactly like Larro.

"But I'm going to have a real horse, not a puppet horse," chimes in young Luke. "I like Larro's horse, but my horse can go, "Whinney!"

When not performing on the sow, Lucky likes to ride his bicycle and play with his cousins, sister and friends in their neighborhood.

Master Tyler "T.J." Doolittle

is only three years old and already a seasoned performer. He is the cousin of Brandi and Luke as well as the grandson of Richie and Eileen. Though only three, "T.J." has been performing skits and comedy routines with his grandfather since he was two but this is the first time he has appeared in a puppet show.

When not acting, "T.J." likes to sing and dance and tell jokes. He also likes tennis and is already an excellent player who we may be seeing in a grand slam sometime in the future. "T.J." lives with his parents, Elizabeth and Mark and his baby sister, Rylie.
