Zu Gast im BOB BAKER Marionettentheater Los Angeles

FIESTA Bob Baker created ¡FIESTA! more than fifty years ago as a “love letter to Latin America,” taking inspiration from his neighbors, as well as from his majority Latin American team of puppeteers in Los Angeles. Our 2022 presentation of ¡FIESTA! reflects a variety of voices, cultures, and traditions, and revitalizes this classic show for a new generation.

History In 1963, Bob Baker and partner Alton Wood transformed a run-down scenic shop near downtown Los Angeles into a family entertainment institution: Bob Baker Marionette Theater. Named an official Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2009, the Theater has served over ONE MILLION children with original shows ranging from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker to a musical journey through the history of Los Angeles. 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. From Morton Haack to John Leland, Tina Gainsboro to Ursula Heine… our Theater family numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands. #FuerstlichesPuppentheater #hadamar #CoiffeurMetz #RalfMetz #BobBakerMarionetteTheater #losangeles #puppetshow #puppetshowforkids #Pupppentheater #marionette
