Bob Baker A living Treasure
One of L.A.’s amazing living treasures is Bob Baker, who discovered his purpose in life that the age of 7 (he is now 86) by entertaining kids young and old through the art and magic of marionettes. It was not until I was in my 40’s that I saw any of his shows that he presents at his little theater near the border of downtown and Echo Park. (actually I may have when I was younger but my memory may be fading) Now only does he produce these amazing shows but makes all the puppets himself.
His group will be giving a free performance at the Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena tomorrow at 7PM and will probably give a performance at the Levitt Pavilion in MacArthur Park as well (but I don’t have that date yet).
So please come and see the amazing marionettes!!!
