McCarter's New Chief, Sarah Rasmussen, Is a Burst of Energy

by Bruce Chadwick
published 2022-03-20

I have been sitting here for quite a while, staring out the window at a pond through a soft and very dreary rain. I have been trying to think of the best way to describe Sarah Rasmussen, the new artistic director of Princeton’s McCarter Theatre, who took over the reins of leadership in the middle of the pandemic. Should I say she is a new Shakespearean scholar, an impressionist of the drama, a philosophical innovator?

Light of Day WinterFest 2022 took place in March after being postponed in January due to Covid. The shows use music to raise money and awareness in its continuing battle to defeat Parkinson’s disease and its related illnesses ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) and PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy) within our lifetime. There are few opportunities to see as many musicians play in the area as with the annual LOD shows and photographer John Posada wanted to convey that with these photos.
