The Marie Hitchcock Puppet Theater is celebrating 79 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.
