McCarter Theatre will premiere a set of commissioned performances on March 24 and 25 as part of campus-wide programming celebrating author Toni Morrison’s life and legacy.
The performances are the result of collaborations with McCarter’s Associate Artistic Director Nicole A. Watson and Autumn Womack, curator of Princeton University Library’s exhibition “Toni Morrison: Sites of Memory” and assistant professor of English and African American Studies. Multidisciplinary artists Daniel Alexander Jones and Mame Diarra Samantha Speis visited the University Library’s Toni Morrison Papers archive, a large trove of personal papers, letters, manuscripts and objects that were acquired by the University in 2014 to inspire original creations. more
