WAYNE, N.J. — The New Jersey-based nonprofit theater Paper Mill Playhouse announced that it has selected multiple students from Wayne to be a part of its prestigious Summer Musical Theatre Conservatory for 2016.

According to a theater news release, members of the competitive Conservatory who earned spots in the Senior (ages 15-18), Junior Plus (ages 13-14), and Junior Companies (ages 10-12) will be directed and choreographed by Paper Mill Playhouse’s professional artistic staff on their way to producing an original concert on the Paper Mill mainstage, “New Voices of 2016: Everything Old Is New Again!”

The three Wayne students selected were: Luke Berninger, Nick Berninger, and Timothy Thompson.

“It’s gratifying when [our students] make a name or themselves on Broadway or in Hollywood, but even if they do not, the skills they learn and the work ethic they develop will serve them in any field,” stated Lisa Cooney, Paper Mill Playhouse director of education.
