  • Something to Crow About is the ORIGINAL Bob Baker Spectacular, originating in 1959 when the theater was just a glint in Bob Baker’s eye. Enter through our red barn doors to delight in this historic and revitalized show—the scope of a Broadway musical plus the Wonderland touch of Hollywood.

    Something to Crow About is both a satirical comedy and a fantastic world of make-believe. Join us for a day on the farm with a whole host of marionettes who can’t wait to meet you! 

  • Tickets are $25

    Children ages 2 and under get in for FREE and do not need their own ticket!

"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."
