The gala honored Founder and former Artistic Director, Joe Papp, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday this past June. Joe was a champion of New York and believed fiercely in theater created of, by, and for all people. We are proud to celebrate the return of live performances at The Delacorte Theater by honoring his life and legacy.
Additionally, they honored Public Theater Community Member, Vivian Jett Brown, with an inaugural Annual Community Leadership Award.
The Annual Community Leadership Award recognizes a member of The Public Theater who has provided exemplary service to their community by establishing meaningful relationships and enhancing the lives of their neighbors. The recipient opens sustainable pathways for all New Yorkers to express their creative power, embodying the belief that culture belongs to everyone. Their leadership leaves lasting impact on their community, The Public Theater, and the city of New York.
