This interactive musical opening Chicago Children's Theatre's new season follows the journey of Paper Girl from her birth as a paper cut-out to her trip to a colorful jungle island.

The production is an adaptation of a highly-acclaimed original work by London's Oily Cart theater company, which creates works with both very young and special-needs children in mind.
