About Geppetto's Marionette Theater
Geppetto's Marionette Theater was an intimate puppet venue located inside the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas. Operated as a collaboration with Le Theatre de Marionette, the venue hosted classic fairy-tale marionette performances and seasonal programs like Winter Wonderland. While the Dallas site has not published public seating charts and has undergone changes since its early 2010s runs, the theater region offers a rich history of family-friendly puppet theatre in a hotel setting. This page provides practical details to help you plan a visit, including seating considerations, parking, transportation, and nearby hotel and dining options.
For travelers and locals alike, secure your seats and enjoy a unique performance experience within a major Dallas hotel property. While the original Dallas venue operated 2012–2021 and is no longer active as a dedicated theater space, Geppetto's legacy continues through touring productions under Le Theatre de Marionette. If you’re exploring the wider Arlington-based company history or seeking similar family-friendly marionette shows, we’ve got trustworthy options and easy booking paths to connect you with current performances and related venues in the area.
