PA Performing Arts for Young Audiences (PAPAYA) kicks off its 2016 season at the Bride: International Family Series with a historical musical theater piece, "The End of Everything Ever." The play centers on Kindertransport, which was a series of rescue efforts that brought thousands of refugee Jewish children to Great Britain from Nazi Germany between 1938 and 1940.
In "The End of Everything Ever" the story of the main character Agate, a 6-year-old girl, is inspired by the true events. The story is presented using a six-piece band on stage, multiple languages and an array of theatrical styles.
The show can be seen on Saturday, Jan. 23 at 5 p.m. or on Sunday, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m.
After each performance, there will be a chance for guests to participate in a PAPAYA Lab. The Labs were designed to inspire children and adults to get up out of their seats after a performance to create something themselves and to talk with each other about what they witnessed on stage.
This play is recommended for ages 14 and older.
Saturday, Jan. 23-24
