Paper Mill -- following up

Regarding the previous post, here's a link to the Paper Mill Playhouse home page, which includes an e-flash plea for donations.

Confirms earlier reports and includes the phrase, "doors must close." Very dramatic. Very sad.

The flash asks, "Can you imagine New Jersey without Paper Mill Playhouse?" The toughest part of it is that so many jobs will be lost, from actors and musicians to crew to the staff who run the successful educational programs. Sometimes we forget Paper Mill is a nonprofit, although one artistic director once told me that for-profit theater is an oxymoron.

As I blog, I'm watching the Rutgers Lady Knights losing their national championship game to Tennessee, and it doesn't look good with 1:45 left on the clock. But it ain't over, as a sage Yankee once said, till it's over. Here's hoping RU and Paper Mill can both make something happen before the final buzzer.
