Princeton Playhouse
The Playhouse Ensembles
Playhouse Choir
The Princeton Playhouse Choir is an ensemble housed jointly with the Lewis Center’s Program in Theater & Music Theater and the Music Department, focusing on repertoire beginning in a broad range of theatrical traditions and expanding into a realm of experimental and innovative music-making. The core of the group’s repertoire is music connected to theater and reimagined for creative ensemble configurations through new arrangements and interdisciplinary collaborations. Playhouse incorporates large and small ensemble singing, a cappella and accompanied singing, vocal solos, dance, spoken word, new music commissions, and collaborative projects with artists across departments to facilitate a vibrant and inclusive rehearsal environment.
The Playhouse Choir meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30-6:30 p.m. in McAlpin Hall at the basement level of the Woolworth Music Building and is directed by Solon Snider Sway
Playhouse Chamber Orchestra
The Princeton Playhouse Orchestra is an instrumental chamber ensemble specializing in the performance of new music commissions, music theater repertoire, popular song, and film music. The group rehearses a handful of times each semester leading up to performances, sometimes with the Playhouse Choir, and sometimes on its own. To receive more information on participation in the Playhouse Orchestra, email Solon Snider Sway at solon.snider@princeton.edu.
The Playhouse Orchestra meets on select evenings, pending member availability.
