Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep will present a public lecture about her career and the theater on Thursday, November 30, in McCosh 50 at Princeton University. Streep’s many awards include the two Oscars, two Emmys and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.

An actress of stage, film and television, Streep has appeared in such plays as William Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure” and Bertolt Brecht’s “Mother Courage and her Children,” which was produced in New York’s Central Park this summer. The 13-time Academy Award nominee also has appeared in more than 50 films, most recently “The Devil Wears Prada” and “A Prairie Home Companion,” in addition to “The French Lieutenant’s Woman,” “The Hours,” “Sophie’s Choice” and “Kramer vs. Kramer.”

A limited number of tickets also will be available to the public from noon to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29, at the Richardson Auditorium ticket office in Alexander Hall, with a limit of two tickets per person. On Thursday, Nov. 30, doors will open at 4:30 p.m. for ticket holders, and at 4:50 p.m. there will be general admission from a “wait line” for any available seats.
