What's Going on at McCarter: Bulrusher, Dreamgirls, and more!

 

What's On at McCarter

 


Opening This Week

NY Times names McCarter’s Bulrusher as one of six productions in the NY/NJ area to catch this fall!

"When the playwright Paula Vogel championed underproduced plays by staging them virtually, this linguistically inventive drama by Eisa Davis got her full-throated support, and a high-profile digital production. HERE IS A CHANCE TO SEE IT LIVE" —The New York Times

 

 

Berlind Theatre

A magical coming-of-age story, Bulrusher tells the story of a multiracial orphan with the mystical gift of clairvoyance and the predominately white small-town world closing in around her. When a mysterious Black girl from Alabama arrives harboring a secret, new discoveries are awakened, and old truths are uncovered.
