New Jersey state legislators are rallying to save the state’s Papermill Theatre, offering financial help. But that help might not be quick enough. “Faced with a cash crunch so severe that they cannot make payroll next week, theater officials said Monday they will cancel their next set to begin a five-week run next Wednesday — and lay off staff unless they get $1.5 million by tomorrow. Another $1.5 million is needed to mount the season’s final show.”
