In the early '60s, Bob Baker and partner Alton Wood founded a marionette theater, establishing what has become the longest-running children's company in Los Angeles. Baker still operates the nostalgia-steeped playhouse, mentoring young puppeteers and performing regularly. This holiday season, the theater presents a charming staging of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker which features over 100 handcrafted marionettes enacting the famed fable of Clara and the Nutcracker Prince. Besides doing something nice for your inner child, you'll be supporting one of LA's most endearing and endangered cultural institutions.
