- **Event Name**: If All the Sky Were Paper
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 01 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: True stories from the front lines — wartime letters brought vividly to life on stage.

If All the Sky Were Paper offers an intimate, deeply human perspective on war through the words of those who lived it. Drawn from real letters written by service members around the world and their loved ones at home, the play captures both the intensity of battle and the quiet moments of connection from the front lines.

Inspired by Andrew Carroll’s bestselling books War Letters and Behind the Lines and framed by his extraordinary journey to collect these correspondences, this 80-minute production blends history and storytelling into a powerful theatrical experience. Each show is followed by a talkback with Carroll himself, inviting audiences to reflect on the personal stories that shape our shared history.
