The only children's theatre company to receive an OBIE Award and the first to perform at Lincoln Center, the Paper Bag Players also is the first company to be funded by The National Endowment for the Arts. This funding has continued for 36 years. In 1989 the company received the American Alliance for Theatre and Education Award. During their more than 40-year existence, the players have performed for more than 4 million children in 38 states and eight countries including the First International Children's Festival in Taiwan. The special family performance is made possible by a generous contribution from Janet Weis as a gift to the community and region served by the Sigmund and Claire Weis Center for the Performing Arts.
