The
Academy of Puppetry and Allied Arts provides funding to subsidize tickets
for students from local area schools to attend performances at the Bob Baker
Marionette Theater and for literacy and language development resources
that supplement the school’s visit to the Marionette Theater.
Instructional Resources for the Bob Baker Marionette
Theater
The
Academy of Puppetry is commissioning the Bob Baker Marionette Theater to
create a new Marionette production of the “Tales from the Arabian
Nights” which will delight children of all ages. Using the frame story of the “Arabian
Nights,” the king and Scheherazade will be
incorporated into four of the tales, providing a wonderful vehicle for
student literacy and language development. The new show will continue to enhance
and preserve the puppet artistry of Bob Baker.

Nights” – Letter of Inquiry
The
Academy of Puppetry and Allied Arts is implementing an initial step to build
a “place-for-the-puppetry-arts.” The initial funding will allow the
Academy of Puppetry to purchase two vacant lots adjacent to the Bob Baker
Marionette Theater. The project,
in addition to providing a “place-for-the-puppetry-arts,”
will produce economic development and community revitalization and
attract additional private/public support for the adjacent community.
