PAPERCLIP

A One-Person Musical

Microsoft Word’s writing assistant, Clippy, has seen the future—and it is bleak. Determined to prevent the impending techno-dystopia brought about by Artificial Intelligence, Clippy travels back in time to warn humanity in a thrilling, time-traveling adventure through the internet.

​

Paperclip ran 37 times in 2025, and just just completed a three night run at the historic Soho Playhouse.
