Playhouse Announces Spring Children's Series

Paper Mill Playhouse is proud to announce Children’s Theater programming for Spring 2015. The Children’s Theater Series hosts charming, delightful and educational performances filled with audience participation and adventure.

“What better way to spend a weekend morning than introducing your child to the live theater experience with characters and stories they love?” commented Mark S. Hoebee, Producing Artistic Director at Paper Mill Playhouse.

All shows take place on select Saturdays or Sundays at 10:00am. All tickets are only $12.00 for any seat in the house. Tickets may be purchased by calling 973-376-4343, or at the Paper Mill Box Office on Brookside Drive in Millburn, or online at www.papermill.org. Paper Mill Playhouse also offers gift cards available in any denomination. Gift cards can be purchased at the Paper Mill Playhouse Box Office and are good for any show or items at the gift shop. Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express accepted.

The 2015 season of Children’s Programming is listed below. It will include a production of Junie B. Jones designed specifically for children on the autism spectrum or with other developmental disabilities, and planned in cooperation with Paper Mill Playhouse’s Autism Advisory Team. The theater environment will be altered for this performance, providing a sensory-friendly, comfortable and judgment-free space that is welcoming for all families. Additionally, Paper Mill Playhouse will host a free Open House titled "Meet Your Seat!" six days before this performance. This is an opportunity for children who are new to theater experiences to visit the theater space before the show. For more information, call the box office at 973-376-4343.
