About the performers:

The Paper Bag Players is a non-profit theater company of adults who create and perform original, contemporary, musical theater for children ages 3 through 8. Their shows, based on a child’s everyday experiences, combine short plays, rousing songs, freewheeling dances, audience participation, mime, and painting and drawing on stage. Common household objects, cardboard boxes and brown craft paper brightened with splashes of poster paint and crayon transform into their sets, props and costumes. The Paper Bag Players touring has taken them to 37 states and 12 countries internationally. The Bags have received numerous accolades and awards over their 60 plus years performing.

Doors to the concert will open at 10:15 am.

After the concert, come to the Floor 4 studio to enjoy our free monthly Drop-in Art Workshop for families. 
American Sign Language (ASL) Interpretation will be provided for this program and the accompanying Drop-in Art Workshop.
