Our production of THE PAPER BAG PRINCESS might just blow you away. 💨 In STIR, Merewyn Comeau, playing Elizabeth shares:

“I am excited for audiences to feel empowered by this story. I am excited to see the shift in the audience from when they've arrived and when they leave, to see where they go with the power that they have within them."

We hope that you, the audience, walk away with a sense of purpose and power found in yourself.
