VIDEO: Launching Pad for Theater Pros Turns 60

On sunny summer afternoons, the walkway at Middlesex County’s Plays-in-the-Park overflows with theater lovers.

Now celebrating its 60th season, the outdoor community theater has become a tradition for generations of family and friends.

We spoke with Artistic Director Margaret Davis, actor Andre Williams, Director Frank Andrews, and Choreographer Aimee Mitacchione about this treasure in Edison.
