It is, in fact, an "expanded" schedule for the busy puppet playhouse, but not everything is taking place at the troupe's charming York Boulevard venue.
For sure, one of the upcoming shows, the galactically gleeful "Holiday on Strings," will ebulliently unfurl at the troupe's Highland Park theater.
The marionettes will travel "... through the holiday galaxies" during the sweet-spirited spectacular, with stops by a Victorian celebration and a Hanukkah party on the schedule.

Oh yes, and "a candy world" full of cute confections.
There are more goodies, though, in store from the glad-hearted group: The Bob Baker puppeteers will also visit the historical Sierra Madre Playhouse over several weeks, all to present their quirky spin on "The Nutcracker."
Tickets for both productions will sell out on weekend days, if the past is a guide, so be sure to book your spot soon. There's a sensory-friendly presentation of "Holiday on Strings" Dec. 14, too, at 10:30 in the morning, which will also sell out quickly.
