Play The Paper Mill Game! Review Clues To Remember Their Productions From The Past Six Seasons

As reported on BroadwayWorld, Millburn, New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse has released its annual teaser of visual clues hinting at their lineup of productions for the upcoming season.

This is the seventh year in a row that the top flight regional theatre has sent playgoers scratching their heads trying to figure out what the sometimes very tricky hints mean.

The game is the brainchild of Paper Mill's Director of Press and Public Relations, Shayne Austin Miller, who finds it to be a very effective way to generate talk about the company throughout social media.

"I come up with a series of images that we can use for each production," says Miller. "Once I have a dozen or so possibilities for each show, I share the images with our artistic team and marketing staff who lends an opinion on which is the best choice."

The 2016-17 season will be announced at the end of February, but in the meantime Paper Mill is previewing the world premiere of the new musical, A BRONX TALE, set to open Sunday night, February 14th. Based on Chazz Palminteri acclaimed one-man show about growing up among underworld characters, the musical has a book by Palminteri, music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Glenn Slater and is co-directed by Jerry Zaks and Robert De Niro.
