THE PAPER BAG PLAYERS are honoring our landmark 65th season with IT’S A MARVELOUS PAPER BAG WORLD! in a blend of classic sketches and new works that pay tribute to our rich history and ongoing creative vision.

The family-friendly hour is brimming with lively music and dance, raucous audience participation, larger-than-life characters, singalong songs, and hilarious stories, all wrapped in our signature paper and cardboard costumes and sets. We invite children aged 3-9, and children of all ages, to our Marvelous Paper Bag World!

Fri Mar 15 - 10:30AM

IT’S A MARVELOUS PAPER BAG WORLD! positively overflows with zany fun, lyrical movement, and paper & cardboard props and sets from the world of children’s playtime. Our 65th anniversary celebration features classics like “Lost in the Mall,” about a family of giant tubes that gets very mixed up and needs your help to find each other, and “Big Red Day,” a storybook tale about a house on a hill as day passes to night. “Volcano” explores themes of kindness and rethinking our prejudices in this tale of an adorable dragon with an oversized roar. “Hot Feet” gets your feet tapping as an endless ream of paper covered in feet streams by. “The Tommy-185” is a brainy robot who wants nothing more than to just dance, especially if you dance along with him, inspiring us to accept this robot for who he is rather than what he is expected to be! These gems, together with brand-new surprises, all lie in wait in the uproarious and fantastical IT’S A MARVELOUS PAPER BAG WORLD!

IT’S A MARVELOUS PAPER BAG WORLD! was created by co-artistic directors Kevin Richard Woodall and John Stone, with classic sketches drawing from material written by founding artistic director Judith Martin, director Remy Charlip and musical director Donald Ashwander.
