"Hanging By A String" | 🎭The Oldest Marionette Theater in the US🎭

8 months into this pandemic, I thought, “is the Bob Baker Marionette Theater going to survive this?” Turns out C0vid is costing them $30,000 a month. At this rate, they think they can pay rent for another month or two. So, what do we lose if we lose the oldest marionette theater in the US?
We are excited to bring you the season 4 premiere of Tom Explores Los Angeles.

Excellent production: beautiful and warm and fun!

I believe they're having a fund raiser if you go to their site. This art form needs to be preserved!

Alas, a new episode of TELA. Tough subject matter--I don't know what its going to take Bob Baker but I'm happy to contribute what I can to keep his legacy going. Is there a page somewhere where someone could do that?
