Since its founding by Joseph Papp in the 1950s, The Public Theater
has been an American artistic leader defined by its breadth of
programming, from Hair and A Chorus Line, to Free Shakespeare in
the Park. With the recent critical and financial success of Fun
Home and Hamilton, and its emphasis on new play development, The
Public's contemporary history has been equally remarkable, even as
world crises and social changes have tested the mettle of its
foundation of accessible and "radically inclusive" theatre for all.
One Public: New York's Public Theater in the Era of Oskar Eustis
presents the broader organization, its creative methodology, and
its enormous growth over the past 20 years. Framed by the tenure
and leadership of its current artistic director, the book tells the
contemporary story, recorded over many interviews with iconic
practitioners and performers ranging from Diane Paulus, Tony
Kushner and Lynn Nottage to Kevin Kline, Chelsea Clinton and
Lin-Manuel Miranda. Case-study driven, One Public uses oral history
accounts and authorial experience to illuminate The Public Theater,
Eustis and their cultural influence on the city of New York and the
greater United States. The story highlights the successes and
challenges of an institution at once espousing a mission of
inclusivity and community-based arts creation, while also
developing Broadway hits and international fame.
