""This is monumental for us. It's been decades of us struggling to survive. Now we're at this moment where it's not a struggle. It's a blossoming moment where our future is set up forever.""
"The purchase comes at a celebratory time for the troupe. While its annual Bob Baker Day Festival at the Los Angeles State Historic Park had to be postponed from April 12 to the fall due to a forecast of rain..."
The Bob Baker Marionette Theater, after being forced to relocate in 2019, has signed an agreement to purchase its current location for $5 million. This acquisition will provide the theater with a permanent home, alleviating concerns over rising rents and the end of its lease. The theater's co-executive director expressed that this moment marks a significant turning point, transitioning from struggle to a blossoming future. The venue has a rich history, previously serving as a movie theater and church.
