May 2, 2026 @ 10:30 AM, 1:30 PM, and 4:30 PM - Highland Park
Bob Baker Marionette Theater
Salastina and Bob Baker Marionette Theater join forces for an afternoon where music and puppetry share the stage. Together, they bring Munro Leaf’s Ferdinand the Bull and Sergei Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf to life. Between adventures, children (and curious grown-ups) are invited to explore an instrument petting zoo. After the show, everyone is welcome to enjoy complementary ice cream. The 1:30 PM performance features special guest narrator Rachel Bloom (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), who leads us through each tale with her signature wit, warmth, and theatrical sparkle.
Tickets are $28 including fees. Children ages 2 and under who will be sitting on a lap are FREE and do not need their own ticket! All guests must be at least 16 years of age or have a parent or guardian present.
