Audition
Kelsey Theater hosts auditions for “The Prom” on Friday, October 10, from 7 to 10 p.m., and Saturday, October 11, from noon to 8 p.m. at Mercer County Community College’s West Windsor Campus at 1200 Old Trenton Road. Callbacks are Thursday, October 16, by invitation.
Four eccentric Broadway stars are in desperate need of a new stage. So when they hear that trouble is brewing around a small-town prom, they know that it’s time to put a spotlight on the issue… and themselves. The town’s parents want to keep the high school dance on the straight and narrow—but when one student just wants to bring her girlfriend to prom, the entire town has a date with destiny. On a mission to make a difference, the Broadway stars team up with the courageous student, leading to a transformation that brings everyone together in the name of love and acceptance.

Call for Art
Bon à Tirer, the common French expression for the final proof of a printed edition from which each subsequent print is judged, asks printmakers to consider the importance of contemporary printmaking in the larger world of artmaking. How do we, as printmakers, create space for ourselves and our work inside and outside of the larger world of contemporary artmaking? What is the role of a printmaker in a world of point-and-click image-making?
The Arts Council of Princeton’s exhibition, Bon à Tirer, is open to all artists working in printmaking, 18 years and older located in the United States. All two-dimensional and three-dimensional print media will be considered; digital printmaking processes will only be considered if accompanied by traditional hand-pulled printmaking techniques. Installation- and sculpture-based printmakers, book artists, papermakers and expanded media printmakers are equally encouraged to submit work. Submissions are due Friday, October 10.
Two-dimensional work must not exceed 24” (including frame) in any direction. Three-dimensional work must not exceed 18” in any direction and must not weigh more than 15 pounds. Artwork submitted must be original creations of the exhibiting artist. It is encouraged that work be mindful of the diverse audience, including children, that use this space. Artworks must not have been previously exhibited at the Arts Council of Princeton.
Works from Bon à Tirer, curated by Dave DiMarchi and Elizabeth Massa, will be juried by printmaker Judith K. Brodsky; a Juror’s Award of $250 will be awarded to one selected work.
A submission fee of $25 is required for all submissions up to three images. Artists must include a paid return shipping label. Works sold will be shipped directly to the buyer; the return label fee is non-refundable.
Artists will be notified by Wednesday, October 15, of their acceptance. Accepted works must be delivered to the Arts Council to arrive by Saturday, November 1.
