<p>How is Princeton in the performing arts? Are there any significant student groups dedicated to these areas? Is Princeton supportive of the arts community?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Olive, congratulations on your early acceptance to Stanford! The creative and performing arts at Princeton are strong. Here is a bit of information that might be useful.</p>
<p>Creative writing is a powerful program with novelists like Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison (who is now emeritus), Joyce Carol Oates, Jeffrey Eugenides and Chang-rae Lee and poets like Paul Muldoon and C.K. Williams. </p>

<p>There is much interest in live theater. McCarter Theater is a major performing arts center. Last year playwright Edward Albee was a visiting professor while he wrote and directed a new play there. The Princeton Atelier and the Triangle Club both allow students to become deeply involved in all aspects of performance and production.</p>

<p>Musical performances abound with strong classical music and jazz programs. A new cooperative arrangement allows students to spend a semester abroad at the Royal College of Music in London and then matriculate there after graduation. </p>
