A PaperMap Community Production
Performances June 30 – July 3, 2026 at PaperMap Theater
Thornton Wilder wrote Our Town back in 1938, and the thing keeps finding new towns to settle into. This summer, the week of the Fourth of July, it's settling into ours.
Three acts. Two families. A Stage Manager who walks us through it all with a strong ensemble cast of neighbors paying close attention to ordinary life.
This is PaperMap's first community production, fully volunteer, and we'd love to have you see it.

Thornton Wilder wrote Our Town back in 1938, and the thing keeps finding new towns to settle into. This summer, the week of the Fourth of July, it's settling into ours.
Three acts. Two families. A Stage Manager who walks us through it all with a strong ensemble cast of neighbors paying close attention to ordinary life.
This is PaperMap's first community production, fully volunteer, and we'd love to have you see it.
A community for theater.
Creating as a team.
A place where stories take shape through rehearsal, conversation, and shared attention.
Each production forms a new PaperMap Cast and centers on a single title. From the first read-through to opening night, cast members work side by side to explore the story, rehearse scenes, and prepare a fully staged production to share with the audience.
How PaperMap Works:
-
It all begins with a cozy theatrical space focused on safety. Cast members learn, perform scenes, ask questions, try ideas, (sometimes) miss the mark, and try again. 100% support is provided.
Rehearsal happens in person, in the same room, with the same cast. Phones stay away. Attention stays with the work and with one another. With this, confidence grows. Relationships form. And a great show takes shape.
This is how we adventure through theater, together. ✧
-
Roles are auditioned and cast thoughtfully, with care for balance, learning, and the overall experience. Cast sizes are intentionally limited so each performer is supported and challenged.
Cast members learn how individual choices shape the group and the story. They learn responsibility, collaboration, and what it means to show up for others. By the time performances begin, the cast has built something unique together and shares the experience of presenting it as an ensemble.
This feels like a great drama club, with intention, structure, and follow-through.
-
Casts rehearse together over several weeks, building toward a fully staged production. Costumes, lighting, sound, and design elements are explored as part of the rehearsal process, not added at the last minute.
Every production cycle results in unique performances.
Every cast member takes part.
We’d love to welcome you into the next PaperMap Cast.

PaperMap Theater & Co. is an invitation to step into a room where stories are made together.
An invitation to join a cast.
