Company Profile
McCarter Theatre Center
Company Overview
McCarter Theatre Center, centered between New York City and Philadelphia on the campus of Princeton University, is a creative and intellectual hub that inspires conversations, connections, and collaborations in our communities. We lead with justice and joy, and we seek beauty in belonging. McCarter is an independent, non-profit performing arts center that creates and curates engaging performances, education programs, and community partnerships.
We are committed to fostering a diverse, anti-racist company and have begun that work in earnest; this work goes beyond our staff and production teams and includes engaging, educating, and cultivating a broad range of audiences, making the arts accessible to all people, and presenting a variety of entertaining and thought-provoking programming across disciplines. As such, McCarter seeks team members who: contribute to a diversity of backgrounds and experiences to support an expansive artistic vision; are committed to engaging in ongoing anti-racism and anti-oppression work individually; value collaboration, flexibility, and an openness to continuous personal and professional growth.
McCarter is an equal opportunity employer committed to hiring, supporting, and promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce.
Company History
McCarter’s mission is to create stories and experiences that enliven minds, expand imaginations and engage communities via performing arts. We work together with audiences, artists, avid thinkers and active learners to:
• Explore new stories and perspectives with relentless curiosity
• Champion a more equitable, diverse, inclusive and accessible future
• Open hearts and minds to the truths in ourselves, our communities and society
• Share ideas and innovations that expand opportunities to engage with the performing arts
Our work is led by our values of justice and joy, beauty and belonging.
Justice: We bring together diverse perspectives, voices and generations. Whether it’s onstage, behind the scenes and with audiences, we’re championing a fairer future for all of us.
Joy: The way we work together is as important as the work we make. We center generosity in all we say and do with each other to create life affirming experiences that celebrate our shared humanity and help us make meaning of our world.
Beauty: We value the multitudes of lived experiences and histories and pursue art that is expansive, essential, and exhilarating. Participating in that which is infused with beauty makes us feel more alive and more deeply connected to one another.
Belonging: We strive to bring out the artist in all of us by opening minds and opportunities through the performing arts. We listen to learn and create spaces, places and programs that empower everyone to be part of our creative community.
