I & You: The Musical, Berlind Theater at McCarter
Sunday October 5, 2025
2:00 PM
A McCarter World Premiere, thrillingly adapted from Lauren M. Gunderson’s acclaimed and award-winning worldwide hit, with an electrifying new score by Ari Afsar. See it here first. Caroline—stuck at home with an illness—and Anthony—an earnest overachiever toting Walt Whitman and waffle fries—are classmates pulling an unexpected all-nighter. What starts as a reluctant assignment soon sets both their worlds spinning into a soul-searching exploration of fate, friendship, and the fragile wonder of being alive. Gunderson’s award-winning play has been produced over 200 times and translated into fifteen languages, leaving audiences surprised, filled with hope, and proclaiming it a “must-see” theatrical experience for over a decade.

Cultural Program, Dorothea's House
Sunday October 5, 2025
5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
The first offering of the 2025-26 season of Dorothea's House programs will feature Rome native Andrea Marini, who dances with the American Repertory Ballet Company. Marini will give an overview of how dance has accompanied human beings—even before the emergence of language. In Italy, traditional folk dances still reflect the fusion between ancient Italic cultures and the influences of the various populations they came into contact with over time. He will explore some of the most iconic Italian folk dances—from the Tarantella to the Furlana—leading up to the refined art of ballet and the prestigious Italian opera and symphonic foundations. The event is free.
Dorothea's House is located at 120 John Street in Princeton. Participants are encouraged to bring refreshments to share at a post-program reception. Doors open at 4:45 p.m. dorotheashouse.org
