New for December, 2007: Paper Moon Theatre Presents: Paper theatre or model theatre is enjoying a renaissance in the U.S. and in Europe. While Michael & Valerie's paper theatre productions for adults have been enjoying acclaim across the U.S. and in Europe, a new Victorian style chamber production is in the works for children and family audiences for Holiday, 2007. The first production will have the flexibility to be either a Christmas or winter theme, based on the Aesop's fable of the grasshopper and the ant. Suitable for audiences of up to 100 (depending on the circumstances) this small theatre on wheels creates an entire theatrical experience in a small space. Call for more information and available dates.
