Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Bob Baker Marionette Theater is reaching out for help with some pretty scary news: the puppet theater is on the brink of  closure.

COVID-19 has devastated small businesses. Cultural institutions like BBMT are losing $30,000 per month and in danger of closing forever. In order to survive 2021, the beloved theater must meet their annual goal of $365,000 and to do that they’ve asked DTLA Weekly to help spread the word.

On behalf of all of us here  at  DTLA Weekly THANK YOU  for  being  a friend  of  the  puppets. 

We’ve never missed an issue without Bob Baker even though we nay have printed you as Bob Barker by accident a few times. Our publisher has a lot of arms, not eyes. 

Although we have never seen a show, it has been an honor to have been able to share your shows in our pages for the psst 4 years. Thank you for sharing the love. #KeepImaginationAlive
