Bob Baker Marionette Theater

About

Bob Baker Marionette Theater is an iconic Los Angeles institution that has served its community with creativity, joy, and imagination since 1963. The nonprofit Theater serves an intergenerational audience of over 125,000 people each year through its cultural and educational programs and impactful, immersive performances at the intersection of puppetry and the allied arts. "A classic Bob Baker bit has been described as “interactive,” but even that is too passive a term. The puppets, controlled from above using strings, perch on children’s laps or nip playfully on an elbow." • HOORAY LA • January 24 - May 3, 2026 • Dates and Times • What is Hooray LA? • Price and Other Info • CHOO CHOO REVUEMay 16 - August 30, 2026 • Dates and Times Art by Kalli Arte Collective January 24 - May 3Saturday showtimes: 10:30 am, 1:30 pm, & 4:30 pmSunday showtimes: 10:30 am & 1:30 pmFriday evening showtimes: 7:30 PM ASL Interpretation is offered on March 21st at the 1:30 & 4:30 pm showtimes.
