On this date in 1921, theatrical producer Joseph Papp was born in #brooklyn. Papp is best known for the eponymous #PublicTheater on #LafayetteStreet #Shakespeare In the Park and #preservation of the #broadway #theaterdistrict. I’ve enjoyed several evenings at #joespub in the Public Theater building, which offers #cabaret style #entertainment and refreshments. #nyc #newyorkcity #culture #history #centralpark

How do I inspire myself in a work that oppressed me on the daily? Performer Dan Daw talks about his work - on queer disability, empowerment and not falling into trap of the “pornography” of being the inspirational person with disabilities in a theater piece that explores the world of kink. One of several interesting pitches at #UndertheRadar at #PublicTheater
The play I went to tonight was A Thousand Ways Part 3 from 600 Highwaymen. Sixteen audience members for each show. We were left alone in the room to read index cards to each other and cooperate in simple actions. It was gentle and cathartic, both. It's done here in Northampton, but it will be playing at the public library in NYC in January. I found it transformative. If you're there or can get there, maybe go?
