The 2020 French Theater Festival runs September 10-20, 2020.
Seuls en Scène brings celebrated French actors and directors, as well as promising early-career artists, to Princeton University and the local community to present their work, introducing American audiences to dynamic and engaging French productions. This year, due to the ongoing global Covid-19 pandemic, we will be offering a virtual edition of the festival in collaboration with the 49th Edition of Festival d’Automne in Paris. Learn more below about the exciting events and productions in the 2020 season.
