Bob Baker Marionette Theater in LA:
Sometimes integrating some normalcy and play (for children and families), finding outside entertainment can be a wonderful antidote to counteract the negative effects of trauma-related experiences. The Bob Baker Marionette Theater can be a wonderful option. It was founded by Bob Baker and Alton Wood in 1963, is the oldest children’s theater company in Los Angeles.
