The Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater was established in 1947, located in beautiful historic Balboa Park, San Diego California. The Puppet Theater was originally part of the California Pacific International Exposition in 1935. 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.

Dolly Esper's Birthday Party!
June 13 - 14
Are you superstitious? Afraid to get out of bed on Friday the 13th, like Petrix the Clown’s Grandma? Well, you’ll just have to brave it – its Dolly Esper’s Birthday!!! Sometimes there’s more than one Friday the 13th in a year, but in 2025, there will only be one! Don’t miss it!
Thirteen is said to be unlucky for some, lucky for others. For Dolly, it’s lucky because she gets to meet with her best friends and make new ones, make mischief and have lots of fun! If Friday is too scary for you (“BOO!”), Dolly is having an all weekend birthday bash! Come along on Saturday or Sunday, 11am, 1 and 3 pm, and bring us all of your presence! Let’s have a ball!
