Children's Book Club and Performance Series

QPAC believe that it’s never too early to jumpstart a child’s imagination and teach kids that reading is about pleasure!  The Children’s Book Club and Performance Series, in cooperation with ArtsPower, is the perfect reason to read with the children in your life!  Enjoy one of our live adaptations of a classic children’s book as well as attend a performance by The Paperbag Players or Arts On Stage to help your child’s imagination soar!

“Worth cheering about…Every skit comes fresh out of the bag!”
-The New York Times, March 4, 2011

The Paper Bag Players are announcing
a thrilling new show for 2011-2012!
"The Paper Bag Players Laugh! Laugh! Laugh!"

Funny stories, thrilling paper bag sets and costumes, freewheeling dances, lots of audience participation, and songs you’ll be singing long after you’ve left the theater are all a part of this brand new show written by all of The Paper Bag Players.

Ted, Laura, Amy, Kevin, and John are going on a rollicking journey—and taking you along for the ride.  From a musical story about the first day of school to the tale of a magical contraption that does all your chores for you, this show will tickle your funny bone, stretch your imagination and make you smile from ear to ear.

You’ll learn about the importance of friendship from a tiny paper bag dragon and the importance of keeping the planet clean from a dancing broom. And you’ll meet Amazing Amy, who’s just a kid—and a superhero!

The OBIE Award-winning Paper Bag Players have done it again with a show that is sure to delight you, surprise you, and make you laugh. This show is perfect for children in grades pre-k through 3rd—and perfect for the child in all of us. Call this number for reservations: 212.353.2332 or email: pbagp@verizon.net.

Perfect for grades pre-k through 3rd, Ted Brackett, Laura Canty-Samuel, Amy Walsh, Kevin Richard Woodall, and John Stone at the electric piano are all back to bring a surprising new show to thrilling theatrical life!
