McCarter Theatre.

The McCarter Theatre, Center for the Performing Arts, of Princeton, New Jersey offers over 200 performances of theater, dance, music and special events each year.

Built in 1929 for Princeton University, in 1973 operation of the theater was transferred to the McCarter Theatre Company, a separate corporation. In 1994 the McCarter Theatre won the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theater, the first professional theater in the mid-Atlantic region to be so honored. A non-profit organization, the heart of its activity is its annual five-play series under the artistic direction of Emily Mann. This series presents new works as well as innovative interpretations of classic drama.
