The Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater  is celebrating 78 years! It was established as a puppet theater in 1947.  We are located in Balboa Park, San Diego, California.

The Puppet Theater, originally called the Hollywood Building, then the Palisades Building, was one of the buildings constructed for the California Pacific International Exposition of 1935-36. The Exposition was organized to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal. The theater still runs weekly live performances for thousands of guests each year with various forms of puppetry, and showcases performers from all over.

Dolly's Birthday Party!

February 13-15

Dolly Esper was born on Friday the 13th! Unlucky for some, but for her, it's when she gets to meet new people, see old friends, and grow up just a tiny bit!
Maulina the singing snake has promised to conduct the audience to sing the most amazing rendition of 'Happy Birthday' ever. Vicki and Jamie, the Dino Brothers, are coming to play games, and the host is her best friend, Petrix the Clown, who hopes her surprise gift this year will be a hit.
Come a little early so you can make Dolly a birthday card! She loves them more than anything!

And look out on the Calendar, as Dolly celebrates her birthday EVERY Friday the 13th!
