  • Our marionette adaptation of a ballet classic and Bob's most beloved holiday show since its opening in 1969 - now at Sierra Madre Playhouse!

    Bob Baker’s Nutcracker debuts at the Sierra Madre Playhouse in 2024 to delight Angelenos and visitors alike! Created in 1969, this marionette adaptation of the classic ballet brings together traditional favorites, including Clara and Fred, the Nutcracker, the Rat King, and the Sugerplum Fairy, alongside Bob Baker’s playful and delightful creations and additions. This project was funded (in part) by a grant from Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts.

  • Tickets are $25

    Please note: This show takes place at Sierra Madre Playhouse (87 West Sierra Madre Boulevard, Sierra Madre, CA, 91024), NOT Bob Baker Marionette Theater.

"A classic Bob Baker bit has been described as “interactive,” but even that is too passive a term. The puppets, controlled from above using strings, perch on children’s laps or nip playfully on an elbow."
