Tony Award Winning Paper Mill Playhouse Affiliation

For many years, 2012 - 2021, Theatre in Motion enjoyed a rousing collaboration with the legendary Paper Mill Playhouse.  Leslie Fanelli was their Master Teacher for the Theatre for Everyone Creative Drama classes.  Paper Mill (inclusive of its "family" of programs) won the Tony Award for Best Regional Theatre.  Pictured is Leslie with Producing Artistic Director, Mark S.

Creative Drama and Music Classes are fun and bonding experiences for everyone involved ... designed for student participants with disabilities, their parents and other caregivers, and typical siblings.  Truly one big, happy family.  In 2019, adult classes were added.  Today, these classes are on the Zoom platform and can be booked directly with Theatre in Motion, Inc.  Acting, Improv, Music, Movement, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), and, if desired--ASL, are all designed especially for your population.

Teaching Artists Hannah Fanelli and Dr. Sean Dineen, D.Litt. round out the "Theatre for Everyone" teaching team.  We are pictured with Paper Mill Playhouse Producing Artistic Director Mark S. Hoebee, holding the Tony Award, 2016.
