If All the World were Paper illustrates that there is no limit to the imagination. The show follows the journey of Paper Girl from her birth as a string of paper cut-outs, to the bottom of the sea of ink, to a colorful jungle island. This interactive musical constantly engages each of its young audience members; they whisper secrets into a paper bag, feed a huge paper bird, and fan Paper Girl's airplane through the sky. Produced in collaboration with Oily Cart of London, If All the World were Paper promises to be a whimsical delight for the child in all of us.
