Bob Baker Marionette Theater

Bob Baker Marionette Theater's mission as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization is to educate, celebrate, and inspire imagination through puppetry and the allied arts. After Bob’s passing in 2014 at the age of 90, the puppeteers and staff had to transition to being the stewards of both the past and the future of Bob’s beloved Theater. Each box that was packed and moved from our historic home at 1345 W. 1st Street to our new Theater in Highland Park carried a story of a puppeteer or fabricator who had contributed to the fabric of the Theater. We have spent the past decade doing everything possible to preserve this essential part of puppet history, and an irreplaceable part of Los Angeles history as well. We look forward to another 56 years (at least!) of puppetry joy in LA and beyond.
