The Next Act Campaign

The roots of Paper Mill Playhouse run deep in Millburn, Essex County, New Jersey, nationally, and throughout the world! As stewards of this theater, we are committed to ensuring Paper Mill remains a cornerstone of our community for generations to come. The Next Act Campaign is essential to that vision. The renovations will not only preserve the rich history of our theater and surrounding campus but will greatly enhance the experience for our patrons and artists alike. These necessary upgrades will allow us to create a more welcoming and accessible environment.

By improving our facilities, we will be better equipped to serve the diverse needs of our growing community, offering a space where people can come together to share in the joy of the arts. This campaign is an investment in our shared future, and we are grateful to everyone who supports this transformative vision and the exciting future ahead.

– Mark S. Hoebee, Producing Artistic Director and Mike Stotts, Executive Director
