Paper Wing Theatre in the Lighthouse District needs a fresh coat of paint, some new floors, refurbishment of the petite Gallerie Stage, and a general makeover! As you can imagine, this will require some good old-fashioned blood, sweat, and tears which we can supply, and a limited amount of capital, which is where YOU come in.

Please help us reach our fundraising goal of $5,000. We ask you to give what you can so we can start the 2017 season with a bang! Our production line up this year includes: Godspell, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Alice in Wonderland, The Rocky Horror Show, and A Christmas Carol, just to name a few. Be part of our mission!

It's time for the Turkey Drive at Paper Wing Theatre!! Once again, Paper Wing will be collecting frozen turkeys at the theatre at 320 Hoffman in New Monterey beginning Tuesday, November 15, 4pm-8pm and continuing every weeknight until Tuesday, November 22.

The last few years we've done this we've collected hundreds of pounds of turkeys and given them to the Food Bank for Monterey County. This year, we would like to give to the Veterans Transition Center of Monterey County as well, so we need twice as many turkeys. We're aiming to collect 50 this year!

Everybody deserves a delicious plate of food or the fixings to make a meal for their family on Thanksgiving. All you have to do is pick up an extra turkey when you go grocery shopping, then bring it to the theater during the allocated times and we'll do the rest. We'll also take cash donations or donations of grocery store cards if you don't have time to shop.
