Hiring: Education Associate, McCarter Theatre Center - McCarter Theatre Center

McCarter Theatre Center, centered between New York City and Philadelphia on the campus of Princeton University, is a creative and intellectual hub that inspires conversations, connections, and collaborations in our communities. We lead with justice and joy, and we seek beauty in belonging. McCarter is an independent, non-profit performing arts center that creates and curates engaging performances, education programs, and community partnerships. As a performing arts center, in addition to presenting artists both nationally and internationally, McCarter also produces its own theatrical events as part of our Theater Series. Shows in the Theater Series are produced “in-house” and unlike our presented events, run for several weeks.

McCarter is committed to fostering a diverse, anti-racist company and have begun that work in earnest; this work goes beyond our staff and production teams and includes engaging, educating, and cultivating a broad range of audiences, making the arts accessible to all people, and presenting a variety of entertaining and thought-provoking programming across disciplines. As such, McCarter seeks team members who: contribute to a diversity of backgrounds and experiences to support an expansive artistic vision; are committed to engaging in ongoing anti-racism and anti-oppression work collectively and individually; value collaboration, flexibility, and an openness to continuous personal and professional growth.
