This exhibition showcases a selection of marionettes made by St. Louis puppeteer, Bob Kramer, who has been delighting children and adults with his hand made puppets and puppet shows for over 50 years at his theatre on Laclede Avenue in St. Louis. One of the longest running on-site puppetry theatres in the U.S., Bob Kramer’s Marionnettes is known throughout the world. Kramer’s stories are wholesome, old-fashioned tales like Peter and the Wolf, Hansel and Gretel and Toyland. Founded in 1963, Kramer has designed and created in the most exacting detail more than 1,000 one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted marionettes and puppets, and is sought as a teacher of puppet-making and puppetry.
