A Los Angeles institution, the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, is in financial trouble. I've been there a few times — just last year for a birthday party, in fact — and it's a charming, wonderful place. Take a look at the slide show that accompanies that article and tell me it wouldn't be a shame if this Mr. Baker's business, school and workshop went away. If you live in the area, please consider booking a party there or otherwise supporting their fine work.
