MASS MoCA, in association with Williamstown Theatre Festival, presents:
The Plastic Bag Store
Created, written, designed, and directed by Robin Frohardt
Music by Freddi Price
Produced by Pomegranate Arts

A Tragicomic Ode to the Foreverness of Plastic.

The Plastic Bag Store is a public art installation and immersive film experience by Brooklyn-based artist Robin Frohardt that uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of single-use plastics. The shelves are stocked with thousands of original, hand-sculpted items — produce and meat, dry goods and toiletries, cakes and sushi rolls — all made from discarded, single-use plastics in an endless cacophony of packaging.

The Plastic Bag Store has an estimated run time of 60 minutes.

TICKETS ARE $25 ADULTS / $20 YOUTH (6-16 YEARS) AND MUST BE PURCHASED ON THE MASS MOCA WEBSITE; CHECK THEIR WEBSITE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE DATES AND TIMES; ADVANCE RESERVATIONS REQUIRED

MASS MoCA’s presentation of The Plastic Bag Store is supported by the Director’s Catalyst Fund, with generous contributions from Greg and Anne Avis, Kelly and Bill Kaiser, Steve and Lisa Jenks, and an anonymous donor. Additional support is provided by the W.L.S. Spencer Foundation, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation and Scott and Ellen Hand.
