Picture this: standing center stage is a giant birthday cake, and the show starts with a rousing rendition of “Happy Birthday!” It’s true! The Paper Bag Players are celebrating 55 years of creating and performing for families with their latest show, “The Paper Bag Players Hiccup Help!”
Their rollicking shows are all about simple sets and props made of cardboard boxes and paper bags, with a focus on fun. Get ready for laughs, singing, and of course, audience participation, as the surprise party unfolds.
Jan. 25 at 11 am and Jan. 26 at 1 pm. Tickets range from $15–$30.
