Winona Bechtle serves as the Director of Partnerships at the Bob Baker Marionette Theater. Bechtle works to expand the reach of the Theater into the realms of music, art, design, and community programs, in addition to inviting organizations and businesses to develop unique programming with the Theater. She has been visiting the Bob Baker Marionette Theater since the age of five and has played an integral role in helping it flourish as a historic and sustainable nonprofit organization.

Alex Evans serves as Executive Director and Head Puppeteer of the Bob Baker Marionette Theater in the Highland Park community of Los Angeles. Evans is honored to pull the strings of family fun for the past decade. After discovering Bob Baker through a curious Google search for "Los Angeles Puppetry," he was enamored from his first visit. He spends his days at the Theater doing whatever Happy the Birthday Dog tells him to do.
