The
WRAPPING PAPER CAPER, a mysterious holiday tale in which the packing materials take matters into their own, er... “hands.” In true private eye guise, a Bogart-esque “detective”
follows a trail of styrofoam packing-peanuts and encounters a witty and wonder-filled cast of characters along the way, including an elegant wrapping-paper damsel in “dis-dress”
, a cardboard-tube horse, a packing-box Zamboni and a cast of bread rolls, cutlery, linens and dishware that display extremely unusual table manners.
WRAPPING PAPER CAPER runs from December 7, 2008 through January 4, 2009. All shows are at 3:30 pm on The Marsh Main Stage at 1062 Valencia Street, San Francisco, California.
