Bob Baker created ¡FIESTA! more than fifty years ago as a “love letter to Latin America,” taking inspiration from his neighbors, as well as from his majority-Latin American team of puppeteers in Los Angeles.

Last year, we presented an updated ¡FIESTA! that reflects a variety of voices, cultures, and traditions, and revitalizes this classic show for a new generation. Due to popular demand, we are excited to bring back ¡FIESTA! for a 2023 season filled with even more exciting additions, surprises, and fun!

¡FIESTA! features a marionette lineup of dancing cacti and colorful birds, marimba maestros from Xochimilco, a brand new Día de Muertos sequence, and a newly outfitted marionette mariachi band inspired by Mariachi Arcoiris de Los Ángeles! (…Plus some brand-new additions we built in our workshop since the last run!)

¡FIESTA! is a mood we set before you—we hope you take a little of it home with you in your hearts. Enjoy a new celebration of our community.

Join the celebration and get your tickets before they sell out!
