Step Inside L.A.'s Historic Marionette Theater

Los Angeles’ historic Bob Baker Marionette Theater is one of the longest running puppetry theaters in the United States. It’s home to more than 2,000 handmade marionettes, and gives out free ice cream at its performances. Founded by Bob Baker and Alton Wood in 1963, the theater was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural landmark in 2009, and its creations have been featured in TV shows such as Star Trek and Bewitched, and films such as Bluebeard, A Star is Born and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The theater is planning to move to a new location, but the magic will always live on. Watch the above video for a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the historic old theater. You can learn more about Bob Baker Marionette Theater here. https://trib.al/kwtLwbk
