McCarter Theatre Center presents An Evening with Neko Case

originally published: 11/18/2024

(PRINCETON, NJ) -- On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, McCarter Theatre Center presents An Evening with Neko Case in the Berlind Theatre.  This is an author event presented in association with Labyrinth Books and Princeton Public Library. The event begins at 7:30pm.

Case comes to McCarter for her latest book tour and will be in conversation with Princeton University's A.M. HomesAuthor and Professor of the Practice in the Lewis Center for the Arts’ Program in Creative Writing.

Neko Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists, whose authenticity, lyrical storytelling, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics, musicians, and lifelong fans. In The Harder I Fight the More I Love You, Case brings her trademark candor and precision to a memoir that traces her evolution from an invisible girl “raised by two dogs and a space heater” in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent.

From a beloved Grammy-nominated musician, a “heartbreaking and funny” memoir of a poverty-stricken childhood, obsessive desires, and indispensable friendships that reflects on the way art and music and a deep connection to nature guided her journey towards stardom (Maggie Smith, NYT bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful).

A copy of The Harder I Fight the More I Love You is included with ticket purchase. McCarter Theatre Center is located at 91 University Place in Princeton, New Jersey. For more information on this event, click here.

McCarter is one of the country’s flagship theaters and a vibrant center for community and the  performing arts. Located on the campus of Princeton University, the company is an  independent nonprofit, serving as a nationally renowned, multi-disciplinary creative hub for  arts and ideas, offering theatre, music, dance, spoken word, and educational programs for all  ages. A two-time Tony Award winner, McCarter’s legacy of artistic excellence dates back to the  theatre’s first performances in 1930. Thornton Wilder’s Our Town, Kaufmann & Hart’s You Can’t Take It with You, and William Inge’s Bus Stop all had their premieres on the McCarter stage,  paving the way for a long history of collaborations with playwrights to launch remarkable works  that have gone on to tens of thousands of performances, reaching millions of audience  members around the world.

The company is equally revered for presenting global artists on its  stages, including Alvin Ailey, Yo-Yo Ma, Samara Joy, Hasan Minhaj, Jon Stewart, Caetano Veloso,  Rhiannon Giddens, Patti Smith, Esperanza Spalding, Lake Street Dive, and Herbie Hancock,  among many others.

Of the 100,000 community members who directly participate in the  company’s work every year, more than 5,000 are students taking part in McCarter’s robust  educational offerings in Princeton, Trenton, and schools throughout the region. McCarter leads  with values of “justice and joy, and beauty in belonging,” creating stories and experiences that  enliven minds, expand imaginations, and engage communities.
