Paper Mill to offer live virtual benefit concert

MILLBURN, NJ — Paper Mill Playhouse has announced a virtual beginning of the 2020-2021 season. Produced in partnership with Hershey Felder Presents, Paper Mill is proud to present “Hershey Felder as George Gershwin Alone – Live from Florence,” streamed live on Sunday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. 

“After the success of our first livestream presentation, ‘Christopher Jackson: Live from the West Side,’ Paper Mill Playhouse will continue to explore virtual offerings during the upcoming season,” Producing Artistic Director Mark Hoebee said. “We look forward to the time we can raise our curtain up in person, but until that time, we will begin the new season in the way that is currently possible.”

“I had the pleasure of presenting Hershey Felder on numerous occasions while at Hartford Stage. I am delighted to bring his work to Paper Mill audiences, who I know will be beguiled by his immensely popular ‘George Gershwin Alone,’” Paper Mill Managing Director Michael Stotts said. “Audiences of all ages will enjoy this story, and Hershey’s performance as Gershwin.”

Tickets are available for purchase at www.PaperMill.org.
