Every year, McCarter’s production staff throws a pumpkin-carving celebration in the shops.  The production staff decorates the place and invites the entire staff to come over and carve their pumpkins (possibly with power-tools)—it’s the networking event of the season.  It can be kinda intimidating to carve a pumpkin next to a bunch of skilled artisans (especially with power tools), but it’s always a great event. The production staff always decorates the shop—this year they turned the A Seagull in the Hamptons dollhouse into a spooky haunted house, and projected the dead-body outline from Herringbone onto the floor as you walked in the door.

Matt Pilsner, one of McCarter’s stage carpenters, is also a brilliant photographer, and he took a bunch of great pictures of the event last night, which he’s agreed to let us feature on the blog.  You can find the rest of the photos on Matt Pilsner’s website.

Enjoy your spooky Halloween Treat!!
