Enjoy a night out at the theater without leaving your couch

New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse has launched a streaming series titled Straight from the Paper Mill Playhouse Vault, presented Thursdays at 7 p.m. on its Facebook page.

The series, which kicked off April 9, features streams of the theater's Humanities Symposiums from years past. From Stephen Schwartz to Stephen Sondheim, these symposiums will take you behind the scenes of some of the best theater creatives — sometimes with the creatives themselves.
