Due to the variety in Covid safety protocols and other considerations at each school, we have created a show that will be adaptable to the space you have available, whether it is a cafeteria, gym, or auditorium. We have a 35-minute and a 55-minute version of the show for in-school performances.
More about IT’S A MARVELOUS PAPER BAG WORLD!
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 very mixed-up family of giant tubes that 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” tells the story 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” features a brainy robot who wants nothing more than to just dance, especially if you dance along with him. 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.
