The McCarter Theater Center has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1930 with the support of the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Originally conceived as a gift to Princeton University and the community, it quickly became a significant regional theatre. Over the decades, McCarter has hosted numerous world premieres and pre-Broadway runs, featuring prominent playwrights such as Edward Albee and Athol Fugard.

The center underwent a major expansion and renovation completed in 2009, adding performance spaces alongside its original theater. It operates as a non-profit arts organization committed to artistic excellence and community engagement through performances, education programs, and artist residencies.
