Paper Wing Theatre was conceptualized in 1992 by writer and actor Koly McBride, creating and performing original works for community events and businesses all over Los Angeles, CA. In 2001, she moved north to relaunch at the historic FOX Theater in Salinas and took local entertainment by storm. She immediately began receiving the admiration, awards and accolades of the community, became a favorite of the local press, and was even given the nickname “The hardest working Theatre Maven in Monterey County”. In 2004, Paper Wing began to present an annual presentation of “The Rocky Horror Show” LIVE onstage, which continues to this day, during every Halloween season.
In 2007, Paper Wing Theatre expanded to Monterey, offering a yearly season full of theatre for everyone, performing 10 to 15 productions every year. From family friendly favorites to edgy new works and classics, Paper Wing endeavored to bring theatre to our community performed and produced by local artists and actors. Hosting local playwright expositions, festivals, VIP and local events, Paper Wing became known as the place to be for locals and visitors to enjoy colorful and enjoyable nightlife!
