(Princeton, NJ) -- On Saturday, May 9th, McCarter Theatre Center will host its annual Gala Benefit, which supports McCarter’s many ongoing artistic and educational missions here in Princeton and around the region. This year’s gala appears under a theme of “Shaken and Stirred” with offerings including a silent auction; a post-concert party complete with music and dancing; as well as other surprises in store for attendees.

The highlight of the Gala is a feature performance by Pink Martini, a fun and fashionable collection of a dozen musicians drawing musical inspiration from all over the world, crossing genres of classical, jazz, and old-fashioned pop. The group, in the words of The New York Times, “suggests an alternate pop universe” filling audiences with “wondrous glee”.

Under Emily Mann’s artistic direction and Bill Lockwood’s flair for booking established and emerging talent, McCarter has consistently demonstrated an unwavering commitment to engaging, entertaining and educating its audiences. In addition to the outstanding work appearing on McCarter’s two stages each season, the Theatre also offers numerous innovative educational outreach programs that serve as many as 20,000 students a year – many that may not otherwise have access to the arts.

The 2015 Gala Co-Chairs are Timothy M. Andrews of Princeton, Cheryl Goldman of Titusville, and Liza Morehouse of Hopewell.

There are a number of $200 ($125 tax deductible) tickets still available for the 2015 Gala, which may be reserved online at mccarter.org.  For questions (or to reserve over the phone) call Christine Murray, Special Events Manager at 609-258-6547 or cmurray@mccarter.org.
