PAPER MILL: Support Our Theatre: Annual Fund Campaign

2009-2010 ANNUAL FUND

SUPPORT OUR THEATRE

YOUR SUPPORT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Whether it's Bedford Falls, Yonkers at the turn-of-the century or a carnival in France, each Paper Mill production brings you into a world of captivating stories, music, and dancing. But the magic created on stage at the Playhouse begins long before the lights dim and the curtain rises, it begins with you.

As a not-for-profit theatre, we rely on the generosity of our patrons to help fund our seasons of compelling live theatre. Without your support, the stage would be dark, the orchestra silent, and the curtain would never rise. Paper Mill's ticket sales cover only 55% of the theatre's operating expenses, which means we must raise nearly $5 million each year to ensure that the shows you love are here to lighten your heart and enlighten your mind.

Please make a gift today, and help us continue to create seasons of music, dancing,laughter and romance at Paper Mill!
