New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse has announced it will continue its annual summer Players Camp for young students interested in pursuing musical theater.

"After a sold-out offering last year, we knew we had to add another season of the Players Camp to our Theatre School offerings," said Theater School Director Mickey McNany in a statement. "The Paper Mill Players Camp has no audition requirement and students will be enrolled on a first-come, first served basis. The mission of the Paper Mill Playhouse Theatre School is to offer an opportunity for any child who has the interest to be able to work on their performance skills."

The classes will run July 1-24 on the Paper Mill campus and meet Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Morning sessions (9:30am-12:30pm) will be available for children aged 8-10, with afternoon sessions available 1:30-4:30pm for children aged 11-13. The summer will culminate in a showcase on July 24.

Registration for the summer camp is now open. Forms can be found here. For more information, contact Mickey McNany at MmcNany@papermill.org or Michelle Tempkin at @Mtempkin@papermill.org.
