The Public Theater (Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director; Patrick Willingham, Executive Director) has announced its annual gala, to be held Tues June 10 on the lawn outside the newly renovated Delacorte Theater, where guests will have an exclusive preview as The Public lights up the reimagined theater for the first time. The one-night-only celebration will feature a performance by Leslie Odom Jr. The gala celebrates The Public's commitment to accessible theater and the return of Free Shakespeare in the Park to a significantly enhanced venue. Further guest performers will be announced at a later date. This year’s annual event will be hosted by Gala Co-Chairs Susan Edelstein, Kenny Leon, and Teresa Tsai. This year, The Public honors the Jerome L. Greene Foundation for their commitment to Free Shakespeare in the Park, recognizing their nearly decade-long support. The event will also celebrate designer Paula Scher, honoring her three-decade partnership with The Public Theater. The Gala will kick off with a cocktail hour at 6:00 PM followed by a three-course dinner beginning at 7:00 PM. Gala tickets are available at thepublic.nyc/Gala25.
