Enchanted Strings - Randal Metz - Bog

Since 1963, the Bob Baker Marionette Theater has enchanted families in Los Angeles and beyond with their delightful marionette performances. It isn't fall in Los Angeles without a showing of the Hallowe'en Spooktacular, and no Christmas season is complete without a puppet performance of The Nutcracker. Now, for the first time ever, the visual history of the theater has been captured in the pages of a book, from Bob Baker's earliest days to the theater's transformation into a thriving non-profit. The text describes a theater at the height of its powers, hosting performances for school children and collaborating with Disney on live-action films. The images bring some of the Bob Baker's most beloved shows to life, featuring new and vintage photographs of performances, introducing iconic characters like "The Black Cat" and "Bobo the Clown". This book is perfect for a devotee of the performing arts or anyone who is a child at heart!
