McCarter Theatre A Christmas Carol Greg Wood, Michael Karnaukh, and Tess Ammerman

It’s been a year since McCarter Theatre debuted its reimagined production of David Thompson’s adaption of Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol. It cleaned the slate and gave us a new set, new actors, and a new experience.

June 21, 2017 By R Birkel

The Princeton Festival Fidelio at mcCarter Theatre with Noah Baetge, Marcy Stonikas, Gustav Andreassen, Danielle Talamantes. Joseph Batton, Michael Kuhn and Cameron Jackson

U.S. protests have increased this year, making Beethoven’s only opera Fidelio very relevant in 2017 since it begins with a protest against injustice. Ultimately, it’s a story of love, freedom, hope, and justice. This opera goes beyond amusement. It makes a statement. Fidelio was part of a trend in the early 1800s to pen operas about women […]

Don’t be a Scrooge – Go See A Christmas Carol at McCarter

December 18, 2014 By R Birkel

Michele Tauber, Graeme Malcolm, and Ali Ewoldt. A Christmas Carol at McCarter Theatre with Ebeneezer Scrooge

Charles Dicken’s A Christmas Carol at McCarter Theatre is a Princeton tradition. David Thompson’s adaptation directed by Michael Unger is full of emotions. Ebeneezer Scrooge’s life is shown from a young boy to an older man, but not in chronological order. The audience discovers how he developed into a bitter man, and after seeing his past, present, and future, […]
