You’ll get to see footage from a performance of “The Box” at the Eric Carle Museum, fall of 2019.
This footage pretty much says it all.
Note the attention and engagement of the children.

Please note the attention and engagement of the children and consider - this is not a usual family audience where each child is being supervised by an adult family member. These children are part of a school group with a single teacher supervising an entire class. Children are pretty much free to behave any way they wish.

These children are relaxed and casual; they're not sitting upright and rigid. They are flowing with the action of the show and they are utterly engaged.

Voila!
Proof!
PaintBox Theatre works.
Our goals three: captivate, educate, and motivate
and we achieve them with every performance.

Your support is essential. I founded the theatre based on the stipulation that the price of the theatre’s tickets be no more than the price of a ticket to the movies. We have been doing this successfuly for close to twenty years but, in order to continue, we have to raise half of our annual operating budget each season.

What will your donation help to support?

We will be reviving “THE BOX” in the late Spring as a fundraiser for the summer season. In the summer 2023, we will stage three productions: BABY BEAR, PRIVATE EYE; THE PIRATE GIRL; and JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH. We are also looking at doing THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW in the Fall.

Here is the link for making a donation. It can be for any amount. Please give it a thought.

Hey Folks, I'm in the process of getting PaintBox back on its feet and I came across this picture. For those of you who don't know, we once constructed a theatre inside the grandstand at the Three County Fair Grounds

Paintbox had a wonderful time presenting the Tortoise & the Hare for Northampton's First Night taped LIVE at the Center for the Arts, and Northampton Open Media.
Thank you Kelsey Flynn & Linda Tardiff for your wonderful performances. And BRAVO to our artistic director Tom McCabe for all the hard work that went into the preparation.
