Art of the Script
McCarter Theatre Center and the Arts Council of Princeton are searching for artists!
Art of the Script is a community project that invites local artists to create work inspired by scripts from upcoming McCarter productions. Work will be exhibited, and available for sale, in McCarter’s lobbies during the run of one of the five shows in the 2019-2020 season. Audiences will have the opportunity to view the art during pre-show and intermission to enhance their understanding of the script, or simply engage in conversation about the artwork! This project will allow audiences to dive deeper into the storytelling and celebrate the work of artists living and working in our community.
