This spring, the Arts Council of Princeton's (ACP) signature fundraising fest Art People Party gets a gritty, unforgettable makeover with a '90s grunge theme - a night where art, attitude, and community collide. Set for Friday, April 24 from 7-10pm, this year's party will channel the raw spirit of the 1990s with creative fashion, inspired decor, thumping music, and iconic grunge vibes. Guests are encouraged to express their own grunge aesthetic with layered plaids, vintage tees, combat boots, and flannel flair as they mix, mingle, and rock out in support of the ACP's vibrant programs.

The event promises an open beer and wine bar, dinner, a DJ dance party, and the signature "Tombola" art experience ensures that every tombola ticket holder leaves with an original work of art. Partygoers will enjoy immersive photo moments and dance the night away with friends old and new to sounds inspired by the decade that defined cool.

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have this fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre. Only four actors play more than 150 characters in what becomes a feat of herculean hilarity and hair-pin turns in this two-time Tony Award-winning whodunit. Watch carefully as this show is chock-full of Alfred Hitchcock “Easter Eggs” galore. When a chance encounter with an ill-fated beautiful spy sends Richard Hannay into the bullseye of a dangerous international crime ring it will send our audience on a bullet train-fast comic thrill ride full of plot twists, romance, quick-changes, and laughs delivered at a delightfully dizzying pace. $24/$22 PG
