McCarter brings its virtual play series of Paula Vogel’s Bard at the Gate plays for 2021-2022 to the Princeton Public Library’s Community Room for in-person community “watch-party” screenings.
Bard at the Gate—featuring plays that are ground-breaking, ambitious, too quirky, and too smart to be contained—directly responds to the lack of representation of diverse voices within the American theatrical canon. This uniquely curated virtual reading series is designed to become a widely accessible platform for plays by BIPOC, female, LGBTQIA+, and disabled artists.
This season’s Bard at the Gate Watch Party Series includes:
Thursday, November 4, 2021 — Zakiyyah Alexander’s How to Raise a Freeman
Thursday, December 2, 2021 — José Rivera’s Sonnets for an Old Century (Note: Adult language and content.)
Monday, January 31, 2022* — Lloyd Suh’s Charles Francis Chan Jr.’s Exotic Oriental Murder Mystery
Monday, March 14, 2022* — Dipika Guha’s Passing
These events are free and open to the public.
