Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III

“The paper bag players, inc. Is dedicated to creating and performing original theater for as many children ages 3 to 9 as possible. We provide free study guides to all teachers who bring their classes to the performances to provide a continual learning experience for the children. In the 2023-2024 season, the company celebrated its 65th year with a show, "it's a marvelous paper bag world" featuring new work and classic sketches filled with whimsical stories, dances, oversized characters, music and the company's signature paper and cardboard sets and costumes. The new york times published a feature on the company: "paper bag players celebrate 65 years of making magic out of the ordinary". The season entailed a hybrid of in-school shows and school field trips to theatres throughout the tri-state area. In total, performances reached 20,000 children, while workshops at p.s. 20 on the lower esat side and p.s.86 reached 400 children, continuing our educational mission.”
