We’re BACK with NOTED for 3 nights only at January 18-20 at 7pm! Tickets at the link in our bio! ⚡️

The Back Pack’s imaginative style has been described as: “a live action cartoon”, “unmatched in its cleverness”, and “pure entertainment that will leave you with a smile on your face and a glow in your heart.” NOTED is a fully original work comprised of three pieces pulled into a single evening. These pieces include the namesake How To Wear Your Back Pack, which originated The Back Pack’s unique brand of storytelling featuring line drawings on large pads of paper strapped to the performers.

Artists are: Katie Kohler, Taylor Casas, Nicholas Meloro, and Pete Betcher.
