McCarter Theatre Hosts Special Halloween Evening of "300 Paintings"

originally published: 10/24/2025

(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Join McCarter Theatre Center on Friday, October 31, 2025 for a special Halloween evening of 300 Paintings! Guests are invited to come in costume as their favorite artist and enjoy $5 Halloween drink specials from 6:30pm–7:30pm.

As an extra treat, use code LAUGH26 to save 20% on tickets for the 7:30pm performance on October 31. (Not valid on previously purchased tickets; zone restrictions apply).

In 2021, Sydney comedian Sam Kissajukian quit stand-up, rented an abandoned cake factory, and became a painter. Over the course of a six-month manic episode, he created 300 large-scale paintings—unknowingly chronicling his mental state through the process. In this hilarious, fascinating, and wildly original show, Kissajukian takes audiences on a rollercoaster ride exploring the ties between art, mental health, and creativity.

For tickets and more information, visit mccarter.org or call Patron Services at (609) 258-2787. McCarter Theatre Center is located at 91 University Place in Princeton.
