Putting It Together: A Program in Theater Celebration

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of Princeton’s Program in Theater in 2024, “Putting It Together” is a celebration that will inaugurate a permanent archive of the history of Princeton’s academic theater program. The afternoon of events includes two panel discussions with current and past faculty, program directors, and alumni; an open mic session; and closing reception.
