his experiences in small theaters
around New York City, Paprzycki
knew exactly what he wanted.
He asked for 96 seats, so they
remained below the first tier for
Equity. He got a beautiful dressing room and a great green room.
Most importantly, he got 3 stories
of fly space, something unheard
of for a theater of this size.
In September 2010, the South
Camden Theatre Company
marked the opening of their sixth
season in the brand new Waterfront South Theatre with “Last
Rites,” the play that started it all.
The new theater was the perfect
vehicle for Paprzycki’s mission.
As a playwright himself, he made
sure the theater had a relatively
unique goal. He wanted to produce new plays at the theater and
also present works by the best
playwrights in history. He just
didn’t want to do the same plays
that everyone else was doing.
“I don’t want to do the plays that
everybody knows,” said Paprzycki.
“I’m going to do a play that allows you to see another side of a
great playwright. Hopefully you’ll
go ‘Wow, that Camden company
does stuff I’ve never heard of’ and
hopefully we do it well enough
