SHE CONTINUES THE LEGACY OF COMMISSIONING AND PREMIERING NEW WORKS ALONGSIDE PROVOCATIVE PLAYS AND REINVENTED CLASSICS. WITH THE PANDEMIC "PIVOT", IT WAS NECESSARY TO TRANSITION FROM THE TRADITIONAL FIXED 5-PLAY + A CHRISTMAS CAROL SEASON TO A FLEXIBLE, ROLLING - PART LIVE-PART-DIGITAL - PROGRAMMING MODEL. DESPITE THE CHALLENGE OF SCHEDULING, SUBSCRIPTIONS HALTED, NEW TECHNOLOGY, SHIFTING PATRON PATTERNS, COVID PROTOCOLS (AMONG ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES), AND HAVING TO POSTPONE IT'S ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF A CHRISTMAS CAROL, MCCARTER SUCCESSFULLY PRODUCED A SEASON OF AMBITIOUS, PROVOCATIVE AND AWARD WINNING ENTERTAINMENT - ONLINE AND ON STAGE LIVE WHICH INCLUDED: 4 VIRTUAL PLAYS; 2 FULLY PRODUCED MUSICALS; A PRODUCTION DIRECT FROM BROADWAY AND AN ORIGINAL PLAY-READING WORKSHOP LED BY A PULITZER PRIZE WINNER. LIVE THEATER ATTENDANCE WAS AT 10,411 AND VIRTUAL PLAY OFFERINGS STREAMED GLOBALLY TO 2,107 PATRONS. |

| FORM 990, PART III, SECTION 4C | EDUCATION & COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS: MCCARTER THEATRE CENTER HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PROVIDING ROBUST EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO STUDENTS OF ALL AGES ACROSS CENTRAL NEW JERSEY. THESE PROGRAMS INCLUDE IN-SCHOOL RESIDENCIES, ON-SITE AFTERSCHOOL AND SATURDAY CLASSES, STUDENT MATINEES, ADULT AND YOUTH COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS, VIRTUAL WRITING WORKSHOPS, TWO NEW ANTI-BULLYING WORKSHOPS, AND OUR SUMMER CAMP. DURING THE 2021-22 SEASON, 1,545 STUDENTS WERE SERVED THROUGH MCCARTER'S EDUCATION PROGRAMS, BRINGING IN $208,166 OF INCOME FOR THE ORGANIZATION. DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, SCHOOLS HAD LIMITED PERMISSION TO ALLOW FIELD TRIPS OR INVITE OUTSIDE EDUCATORS INTO THE CLASSROOM. AS A RESULT, OUR SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY-BASED EDUCATION PROGRAMS WERE REDUCED COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS TWO YEARS, BUT WE EXPECT TO BE FULLY OPERATIONAL FOR THE UPCOMING 2022-23 YEAR. IN FY22, MCCARTER OFFERED 6-10-SESSION SUBSIDIZED RESIDENCIES AT COMMUNITY PARK, RIVERSIDE, AND LITTLEBROOK ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, SERVING 462 STUDENTS ACROSS TWENTY-ONE 1ST-5TH GRADE CLASSROOMS. SUPPORTED BY A NEW JERSEY COUNCIL ON THE ARTS GRANT, WE ALSO PRESENTED OUR ANTI-BULLYING PROGRAM, ALICE'S STORY, TO 418 1ST - 3RD-GRADE STUDENTS AT ALL FOUR PRINCETON ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. MCCARTER CONTINUED OUR LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP WITH HOMEFRONT, A RESOURCE AND SUPPORT ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO END HOMELESSNESS IN CENTRAL NEW JERSEY. THIS PROGRAM INCLUDED THE CHILDREN OF HOMEFRONT VISITING MCCARTER, HAVING A SHARED MEAL, AND ENGAGING WITH MCCARTER TEACHING ARTISTS IN ART-MAKING ACTIVITIES. A NEW PARTNER THIS PAST YEAR WAS CROSSROADS4HOPE, A NON-PROFIT SUPPORT AND RESOURCE ORGANIZATION FOR INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED BY CANCER. IN FALL 2021, WE OFFERED A PLAYWRITING WORKSHOP WHERE FIRST-TIME AND SEASONED AUTHORS SUBMITTED THEIR PERSONAL STORIES. A COLLECTIVE SCRIPT WAS CREATED BY WEAVING TOGETHER STORY MOMENTS FROM THE SUBMISSIONS. THEN, THREE ACTORS AND A DIRECTOR REHEARSED THE SCRIPT, AND PERFORMED A LIVE-STREAMED PRODUCTION FOR AN AUDIENCE OF OVER 80 SUPPORTERS. FOR THE SECOND YEAR, MCCARTER PARTICIPATED IN THE NEW JERSEY THEATRE ALLIANCE'S HEALING VOICES: CAREGIVERS STORIES ON STAGE PROGRAM. NEW JERSEY PROFESSIONAL AND FAMILY CAREGIVERS, AND PATIENTS RECEIVING CARE, SUBMITTED CREATIVE PROSE, POETRY, AND THEATRICAL PIECES THAT REFLECTED THE THEME OF CAREGIVING AND/OR THEIR PERSONAL HEALING EXPERIENCE. EIGHT PIECES SELECTED BY MCCARTER WERE WOVEN INTO AN EVENING OF VIRTUAL READINGS CELEBRATING, EXPLORING, AND BEARING |
