THE WANDERER CONTINUES THROUGH APR 24

Dion DiMucci, an Italian American kid from the Bronx, skyrocketed to fame as a teenage heartthrob in the 1950s and early ’60s with hits like “Runaround Sue,” “Teenager in Love,” and “I Wonder Why.” Now, his extraordinary true story comes to the stage in a moving and intimate new musical about a life lived in the glow of the spotlight and in the shadow of addiction.

SUMMER MUSICAL THEATER WORKSHOP

Our Summer Musical Theater Workshop is an enrichment program not to be missed. As a previous winner of the Discover Jersey Arts People’s Choice Award, the Workshop builds self-confidence in a fun, safe, and exciting atmosphere. The Workshop takes place at the theater and the Paper Mill Studios in downtown Millburn. Performers ages 9–15 will be offered live training in acting, dance, and musical theater performance. The camp-like program meets three days per week—Tuesday through Thursday. No audition is required to ensure that every child has an opportunity to learn and grow, no matter their experience or skill level. The program will culminate in a sharing for parents on the final day of instruction. Registration is now open.

 

 

 

 

DONOR PROFILE

Charlie Perruzzi had Broadway performers as neighbors growing up in Greenwich Village, which gave him first-hand experience of what theater was like backstage and onstage. Coming to Paper Mill was like coming home. He and his wife, Sheila, subscribed when they moved from the Village to New Jersey. Longtime theater lovers, they immediately felt a connection to Paper Mill as having “Broadway in their backyard.” After Sheila passed away, Charlie honored her with a seat plaque where she sat next to him for decades. He soon joined our Center Stage Society as a donor because he loves the intimacy he feels at Paper Mill on every level.
