Carousel Theatre for Young People presents the Western Canadian Premiere of THE PAPER BAG PRINCESS, based on Robert Munsch’s endearing and empowering story of resilience, on stage at the Waterfront Theatre on Granville Island from April 22 to May 10. (Recommended 3+ / Running time 50 minutes)
Persistent and powerful, Elizabeth is a princess with a lot on her plate. But when a dragon storms her castle and flies away with her “beloved” Prince Ronald, things go from bad to worse. How does a princess rescue a prince if princes are supposed to do the rescuing? Who decided that anyway? Based on the renowned classic, The Paper Bag Princess follows our heroine Elizabeth and a cast of zany new characters on a wild, playful and puppet-filled adventure to discover that only you can determine your own path.
"This new, fresh adaptation of the classic Munsch book invites us into Elizabeth's world and the highly gendered family pressures she faces, and ultimately, how she breaks free of all of them. This book was such a part of my own childhood as well as generations of other Canadians, and we're so excited to invite young people into the wild world of the Paper Bag Princess!" - Dave Deveau, Co-Artistic & Managing Director, Carousel Theatre
Ages: Recommended 3+
