Over five million people have visited the Delacorte Theater for free performances, making it one of New York City's most beloved summer traditions. At its landmark downtown home at Astor Place, housing five theaters and Joe's Pub, The Public advocates for the theater as an essential cultural force through productions of new plays, musicals, and Shakespeare that lead and frame dialogue on some of the most important issues of our day. The Public's programming also includes a range of artist and audience development initiatives including its Public Forum series, which brings together theater artists and professionals from a variety of disciplines for discussions that shed light on social issues explored in Public productions, and the Mobile Unit, which tours Shakespearean productions for underserved audiences throughout New York City's five boroughs.
