WE ARE EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE ADDITIONAL DIGITAL PROGRAMMING FOR THE 2020/2021 SEASON.
“We need, more than ever, the sense of community and connection that the theater provides. We are home, alone, far more than we were before this pandemic and The Public means for its digital work to provide strength and solace,” said Artistic Director Oskar Eustis.
