About Bob Baker Marionette Theater
The Bob Baker Marionette Theater was founded in 1963, and its denizens have appeared in many motion pictures and television shows. They pioneered a form of “theater in the round” which allows the puppeteers to perform their art in full view of everyone. Audiences are able to enjoy the antics and intricacies of the skilled and beautifully-executed marionettes in an intimate form, all of which has become a timeless and culturally-celebrated living theater for all ages.
Named an official Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2009, the theater has served over one million children. As a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization, the mission of Bob Baker Marionette Theater is to educate, celebrate, and rejuvenate puppetry and the allied arts.
This free event received partial funding support from the Friends of the Menlo Park Library.
