My wife and I have seen every show, many more than once, as Robert always adds a unique flair to each performance. We treasure our visits to his beautifully designed Victorian era theatre. Robert is a gift to the Lancaster performing arts scene, and we look forward to his eventual appearance on the boards of the Fulton where we can enjoy the full range of his talent.

I was with my parents on Saturday June 16, 2018 for the 11 A.M. show of Aladdin and his Magic Lamp. The show was awesome! Robert, who owns the theatre and performs with the marionettes, gave us a private tour around the theater, which was surreal to see behind the scenes of the theater and the stage. Go to see his shows! Thank you Robert for the tour, the show and taking photos with us!

Incredibly passionate man gives a one-man performance that will impress all ages. Loved the backstage tour, like a small glimpse into the history of puppetry and Robert's life with humorous commentary. Talent abound ~ could not recommend more

Art of the Marionette Is Alive & Well

Lancaster's Best Kept Secret... Many European cities have supported puppet theaters, but there are few resident theaters in the United States. It is said that puppetry is a dying art. Not so! The Lancaster Marionette  Theatre,  founded by Robert Brock in 1990, delights audiences of all ages with this ancient and unique art form.

Included FREE with your ticket, the John Durang Puppet Museum and Back Stage Tour 20 minutes prior to cutain.
