About us
The Bob Baker Marionette Theater is Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #958. With over 300 performances a year, utilizing over 2000 handcrafted puppets, the Theater caters to birthday parties, school groups, weddings, and community functions of all sorts. After 50 years of magic, having entertained over one million children of all ages, we are proud and excited for 50 more years of pulling the strings of family fun!
Today is #WorldPuppetryDay. Here are a few pix from the @BBMTofficial exhibit at Forest Lawn Glendale, incl'g one of the @LilNasX marionette. The exhibit closed on Sun.
SAVE THE DATE: #BobBakerDay will take place on April 30 at the LA State Historic Park. https://bobbakerday.com
In this episode of "Head-lines," the @latimes and @BBMTofficial's mental health-focused puppet show, our puppet-on-the-street correspondent Lora learns to face her fears and fly.
