“The 2008-09 season marked Bob Baker’s 10th year as Artistic Director of the Citadel – the longest stint, and arguably the most successful, by any director since the theatre’s founding in 1965.”
NEW TRAIL MAGAZINE

“The quality of productions at the Citadel – led by Baker’s own – have really been enhanced in the last decade. People expect more and they get more.”
LIZ NICHOLLS

“Bob really has energized the Citadel. All you have to do is see what’s happening over there: all three theatres open again. He’s embraced the community of actors and designers, using local professionals. He has increased by enormous strides the number of Canadian plays on the main stage. He’s built up subscriptions. And he’s a brilliant director of musical theatre. He can do it all.”
TOM PEACOCKE

“Bob’s greatest talent is to be able to balance a keen artistic sense against an ability to do the kinds of theatre people want to see.”
COLIN MACLEAN

“We have the utter privilege of watching one of North America’s finest directors at the very peak of his career. Baker has an uncanny ability to bring out the very best in all around him.”
