About us

Papers Please Inc. is a District of Columbia non-profit arts/education company formed in 2018 after the Premiere of Two Pianos: Playing for Life.  Our initial goal: bring Two Pianos creations to broader audiences in the U.S. and abroad.  Our overall mission: design, produce and present focused, history-themed performances, programs, exhibits and publications with educational content.


When COVID-19 suspended live performances, Papers Please created Penn Convoy Press to publish A Border Town in Poland (2021) and related books under that imprint. 


Our Board and Advisory Committee include representatives of the Levin-Hoffman families (descendants of the main characters), a former Director of Planned Giving for the Metropolitan Opera (NYC), and a former board member of the Raoul Wallenberg Committee (U.S.).
