A Bit of History:

Paper theaters originated in Britain in 1811 with “Mother Goose” and quickly became a beloved pastime throughout the 19th century. Often sold in bookstores, they allowed families to experience the magic of theater at home. This piece honors that rich history with a modern, handmade twist.
