  • Martin Miller

    Executive Director

    Martin Miller joined McCarter as Executive Director in September, 2023, where he has led initiatives to build community support, broaden access, and spark renewed growth—helping double overall attendance during his first season. Previously, he was Executive Director/Producer at TheatreSquared, which he transformed from a company offering 50 performances a year on a $160,000 operating budget to an organization offering 350 performances annually on a $7.5 million budget. He led fundraising, design, and construction for the company’s $31 million, multi-venue, permanent home, an open-all-day community gathering space (AIA NY Honor Award; 2021 International Architecture Award). His twin commitments to smart fiscal stewardship and risk-taking artistry were reflected in 14 years of sustained growth and accolades, including the Obie Award and a “Best of 2020” Critics’ Pick in The New York Times. He is a graduate of Carleton College, holds a masters in arts leadership, and has lived in Princeton with his family since 2019.
