SUMMARY:Hallowe’en Spooktacular
DESCRIPTION:Bob Baker Marionette Theater brings back this all-ages Angeleno tradition\, encouraging guests to make their own holiday memories with an entire season of puppetry and one-of-a-kind events. \nSince the 1980s\, Angelenos and tourists alike have incorporated the show into their Halloween celebrations. From a tap-dancing Frankenstein to visitors from outer space to a friendly People Purple Eater\, there is no spooky show quite like BBMT’s Spooktacular. This year’s production also includes an ode to Día de los Muertos\, which celebrates the Theater’s community in a distinctly Bob Baker way. First created for BBMT’s reimagined ¡FIESTA! show in 2022\, marionette calaveras honor and celebrate the theater’s ancestors\, family\, and Los Angeles community. \nIn addition to the rest of the season\, a sensory-friendly version of Hallowe’en Spooktacular will be offered on Saturday\, Oct. 10\, at 10:30 a.m.

The concept of the story was funny\, sweet and relatable\, the actors exuded Great energy!” Alanna Phillipz\, Hollywood Fringe \nCan’t make it to the theatre? BFF shows are live-streamed\, too! \nSanta Monica Playhouse programs are supported in part by generous grants from the We Are Santa Monica Fund\, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture\, the City of Santa Monica and the Santa Monica Arts Commission\, Steve and Liane Horsley and Playhouse PALS.

SUMMARY:CINDERELLA
DESCRIPTION:The beloved Rudie-DeCarlo musical CINDERELLA is back\, with a stunning multi-media makeover. It’s Cinderella like you’ve never seen her before\, with new songs\, hilarious special FX\, a silent movie segment that will have you falling out of your seat\, dazzling costumes\, amazing magical prestidigitation\, and a story about being true to your dreams and loving yourself as you are that’s as meaningful today as ever before. \nIt’s the perfect fairytale for today’s generation: a handsome prince (who yearns to be loved for himself\, not his royal position)\, silly stepsisters (who ultimately discover that looks really aren’t everything)\, a feisty (but genuinely well-meaning) stepmother\, a silver-foxy (if slightly befuddled) King and a refreshingly independent Cinderella. \nAfter two dozen tours to England\, Alaska and Japan\, CINDERELLA is still the single most requested Playhouse Musical Matinee on three continents and this delightful 42nd anniversary make-over offers added delights: playful period costumes by award-winning designer Ashley Hayes\, magical special effects by James Cooper and the heart-warming romance that blooms with the assistance of a glass slipper\, a magic wand\, and the audience’s eager intervention. \nCINDERELLA features Actors’ Repertory Theatre members Haleigh Byers\, James Cooper\, Shravana Karthekiyan\, J.T. Melaragno\, Cydne Moore\, Defne Oztas\, Michala Peltz\, Charlotte Robinson and Francesca Whitsell. Fairygodmother\, of course\, plays herself. Directed by Playhouse Co-Artistic Director Chris DeCarlo\, book\, music & lyrics by DeCarlo and Evelyn Rudie.
