AUTISM AWARENESS MONTH

Paper Mill is a national leader in providing access to live theater for everyone. In April we celebrate Autism Awareness Month with an Autism-Friendly Performance of the family classic musical, Charlotte's Web on April 29. Looking ahead, we are also especially excited to present an Autism-Friendly Performance of our season finale production of Mary Poppins on June 23. Join us on the big stage for these big shows! Autism-Friendly Performances are designed and intended for families with children who have autism or other developmental disabilities. This program is designed and planned in cooperation with Paper Mill Autism Advisory Team. At these performances the theater environment will be altered, providing a comfortable and judgment-free space that is welcoming for these families. Keep reading below.
