help! SAVE BOB BAKER MARIONETTE THEATER from closing !!!

Bob Baker Marionette Theater is reaching out for help with some pretty scary news: the puppet theater is on the brink of closure.

COVID-19 has devastated small businesses. Cultural institutions like BBMT are losing $30,000 per month and in danger of closing forever. In order to survive 2021, the beloved theater must meet their annual goal of $365,000 and to do that they’ve asked DTLA Weekly to help spread the word.

On behalf of all of us here at DTLA Weekly THANK YOU for being a friend of the puppets.

We’ve never missed an issue without Bob Baker even though we nay have printed you as Bob Barker by accident a few times. Our publisher has a lot of arms, not eyes.

Although we have never seen a show,

it has been an honor to have been able to share your shows in our pages for the psst 4 years. Thank you for sharing the love. #KeepImaginationAlive

These modern adaptations of Greek tragedies complete “The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro” which is presented on Center Theatre Group’s Digital Stage in partnership with The Getty.

Luis Alfaro is a Chicano writer known for his work in poetry, theatre, short stories, performance and journalism. Luis spent six seasons as the Playwright-in-Residence at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival from 2013–2019. He was a member of the Playwright’s Ensemble at Chicago’s Victory Gardens Theatre from 2013–2020. Luis is the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship. He was recently awarded the PEN America/Laura Pels International Foundation Theater Award for a Master Dramatist, the United States Artist Fellowship and the Ford Foundation’s Art of Change Fellowship.

His plays and performances include “Electricidad,” “Oedipus El Rey,” “Mojada,” “Delano”

Luis spent over two decades in the Los Angeles poetry community and toured for ten years as a performance artist. He is a tenured professor at USC. His play anthology, “The Greek Trilogy of Luis Alfaro,” was just released from Methuen Press. Luis was a participant in Center Theatre Group’s 2018/19 L.A.
