## About

An iconic Los Angeles institution for more than 60 years, the Bob Baker Marionette Theater presents its beloved holiday revue in its charming Highland Park theater. Hosted by Demitrius Nova Twinklestar III (fondly known as Demi Star), this theatrical puppet extravaganza features over 100 exquisite handcrafted marionettes performing lively musical vignettes: tap-dancing snowmen, playful ice skaters, Rudolph and Santa's workshop elves, the Sugarplum Fairy, and marching tin soldiers. The intimate theater-in-the-round layout means children sit right on carpeted floor cushions inches from the puppet action, and true to 60-year tradition, every guest receives a free cup of ice cream at the show's conclusion!
