A beloved Bob Baker tradition returns! The Bob Baker Marionettes presents Hallowe'en Spooktacular, a family-friendly musical revue, set to haunting and jazzy holiday-themed tunes celebrating nearly every decade.

The celebrated marionettes are presented in the round, cabaret style, with the puppeteers not only exposed to the audience, but serving as an integral part of the proceedings and making the audience part of the one-hour show, celebrating another Halloween season with the Purple People Eater, Dracula, the Invisible Man, glow-in-the-dark skeletons, and many more - all in puppet form - singing and dancing through the musical variety hour. This year, Spooktacular also includes a beautiful Día de Los Muertos sequence with a celebratory scene to pay tribute to the holiday and honor the community.

Following each performance, the audience is invited to join the puppeteers for some after show refreshments.

Costumes strongly encouraged: Halloween costume parades are held at every Spooktacular show starting in October.

Three seating options are available:  theater chair seats, criss-cross-applesauce floor seating, and seats in the Puppet Parlor, (which are behind a barrier and not recommended for children or those who might have difficulty seeing above a 3-foot-tall railing). Two designated wheelchair spaces are available as well.

Showtimes:
Saturdays: 10:30 am, 1:30 pm, & 4:30 pm
Sundays: 10:30 am & 1:30 pm
Select weekday evenings: 7:30pm
