(PRINCETON, NJ) -- Sometimes a breakdown coincides with the biggest breakthrough. In 2021, Sydney comedian Sam Kissajukian quit stand-up, rented an abandoned cake factory, and became a painter. Over the course of a six-month manic episode, he created 300 large-scale paintings—unknowingly chronicling his mental state in real time.

In 300 Paintings, Kissajukian takes audiences on a hilarious, deeply human rollercoaster ride exploring creativity, mental health, and the artistic process. Fresh from a critically acclaimed off-Broadway run, the show comes to McCarter Theatre Center for a limited, one-week engagement, October 29 through November 2, 2025. Following each performance, audiences are invited to meet Kissajukian and view his incredible paintings in a curated lobby exhibition.
