Join The Public Theater this October for large-scale community art installations, a searing new radio play that examines our country, and civically-engaged concerts from the dynamic Joe’s Pub.
The theaters remain dark, but we are striving to make great art for New York and the nation, while remaining deeply connected to our community partners. The Public will turn its historic, landmarked building into two large-scale art installations that honor Black lives lost to police violence and plant seeds of hope for New York City’s future. The Public’s digital platforms will see the premieres of a new documentary from Public Works, concerts from Joe’s Pub, and a new radio play. Visit publictheater.org to learn more about our slate of events and programs.

This season, The Public offers an antidote to all our isolation anxiety with the “bombastic, razor sharp & triumphant return” (W Magazine) of the incomparable Kiki & Herb.
