<div><strong>The Paper Bag Players</strong>, America’s longest-running children’s theater, has been engaging kids for 64 years with imaginative use of paper, cardboard, live music, and song. Each year, our low-cost initiative, <em>Theater for All</em>, provides over 30,000 young children aged 3-9 with their first experience of live performance. However, the pandemic has devastated funding for live theater and children's programming, and we urgently need your support to continue our work.

<div>“Dear Paper Bag Players, I loved your art that you put in the show – it was beautiful. The art that you used was creative and you used it all out of paper bags and paper! I enjoyed your show so much, I started to make my own!”
