About this show
Come see Mr Cardboard (Stamptown, Upright Citizens Brigade), something between a jovial imaginary friend and an all-powerful god of play, return to face his most trying hour yet! After being called forth from his slumber, Mr Cardboard flies you to his domain, The Land of Cardboard; however, is the Land of Cardboard the magical place it once was? Mr Cardboard must battle with a higher power for the pleasure of the audience and to save the eternal spirit of The Land of Cardboard, in this theatrically forward solo clown show by Miles Calderon.
