    The people and places of the City of Angels come to puppet life in Hooray LA! First performed in 1981 for the Los Angeles Bicentennial and recently revived by our puppeteers, fabrication workshop, staff, and community collaborators, the production features handcrafted marionettes inviting us into the history of LA, from a completely new ode to the LA River to the 1933 earthquake to development of the LA freeways to the mountains of Griffith Park where one lone mountain lion looks for love… And so much more!

"A classic Bob Baker bit has been described as “interactive,” but even that is too passive a term. The puppets, controlled from above using strings, perch on children’s laps or nip playfully on an elbow."
