SUMMARY:The Music of the Bard: Words & Music of Shakespeare in the Park 1956-1967
DESCRIPTION:[Image: Joe Papp (left) and David Amram\, rehearsing King John\, 1967] \n“We have public libraries. Why not public theaters?” said Joseph Papp\, facing down Robert Moses\, New York City’s infamous “power broker\,” when the New York Theater Workshop was just two years old. This year marks the 70th birthday of what became Shakespeare in the Park\, which we celebrate with David Amram who\, from 1956 to 1967\, composed the music for 25 productions of its productions. Gail Merrifield Papp\, Joe’s widow and theatrical partner for 25 years\, will be among the friends joining him for this unique evening.\nAmram had recently arrived in  New York and was living in the East Village\, composing classical music as well as performing with some of the great names in jazz\, when Papp called to ask if he’d compose the music for Titus Andronicus\, presented at the Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in 1956. The following summer\, he was appointed composer and musical director\, an association beginning with Romeo and Juliet. The score was completed in just eighteen hours – for no money! The New York Shakespeare Workshop was by then touring parks and playgrounds across the five boroughs\, the stage and set transported by a retrofitted Department of Sanitation truck that got stuck on the grass in Central Park. Joe claimed squatter’s rights and there\, on a temporary stage\, presented Romeo and Juliet\, Macbeth and Two Gentlemen of Verona. Shakespeare in the Park was born. \nThe Music of the Bard: Words & Music of Shakespeare in the Park 1956-1967 honors Joe Papp’s visionary endeavour and the founding of The Public Theater in the old Astor Library\, which had been the City’s first free public library. At the same time\, it honors David Amram’s remarkable contribution to Joe’s marriage of theater and civic responsibility – and David’s own belief in music and civic responsibility. Both men believed that arts make the world a better place. \nSelections from David’s music for Shakespeare in the Park\, as well as selections from his opera 12th Night which he composed to Papp’s libretto\, will be sung by Michael Kelly and Adira Amram. Actors will speak some of Joe’s favorite soliloquies\, and Gail Merrifield Papp will reminisce and read from her recent memoir Public/Private: My Life with Joe Papp at The Public Theater. \n \n[Image: David Amram and Gail Papp] \n\nDavid Amram – composer\nAdira Amram – singer\nMichael Kelly – baritone\nGail Merrifield Papp – speaker\nLark White – actor\nPeter McNally – actor\nNathaniel LaNasa – pianist\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS FROM JOE'S PUB

SUMMARY:Public/Private: Gail Papp\, in conversation with George C Wolfe
DESCRIPTION:Why does someone start a theater? What is its purpose? Who’s it for? Who creates it? How is it kept afloat? Why should anyone care? Also\, why am I alive? What is the meaning of existence? \nThese were the kinds of questions that Joe Papp\, who founded New York City’s free New York Shakespeare Festival and the Public Theater\, asked himself throughout his career as a theatrical producer. Such questions were basic to his fiercely democratic viewpoint that not only changed American theater in the way that it staged Shakespeare\, but also brought into major focus the voices of new American playwrights who had been previously minimized or ignored often due to their ethnicity and gender. \nGail Merrifield Papp was born in San Francisco into a family with a deep theater lineage. After joining Joseph Papp’s New York Shakespeare Festival in 1965\, she became Director of New Works Development for the Public Theater and was responsible for some of its most celebrated productions. These included The Normal Heart\, Larry Kramer’s Tony Award-winning play about the AIDS crisis\, for which she received the Human Rights Campaign Arts and Communication Award\, and Rupert Holmes’s Tony Award-winning Best Musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Gail Merrifield and Joseph Papp were married in 1976 and she worked with him at the Theater for 26 years. \nMore than half a century after the Public opened its doors with Hair\, Gail Papp returns to the Theater to talk\, for the first time\, about her vivid and fascinating behind-the scenes memoir Public/Private: My Life with Joe Papp at The Public Theater. This very special evening finds her in conversation with the distinguished playwright and director George C. Wolfe who\, for a decade\, presided over The Public\, restoring it to health following the trauma of 9/11 with a series of award-winning productions that included Bring in ‘da Noise\, Bring in ‘da Funk\, which told the story\, through tap\, of Black history from slavery to the present. A five-time Tony Award winner\, he has directed plays such as the original productions of Angels in America: Millennium Approaches and Angels in America: Perestroika and the 2018 production of The Iceman Cometh with Denzel Washington. He has also directed for film and television and is finishing up work on Rustin for Netflix and President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. \nWiley Hausam will moderate the event. \n\nGail Merrifield Papp\nGeorge C. Wolfe\nWiley Hausam\n\n30% Discount\nEveryone attending this event will receive a 30% discount voucher for Gail Papp’s upcoming memoir Public/Private: My Life with Joe Papp at The Public Theater. Due for publication in mid-October. \n\n6-7.30pm (Doors 5.30pm)\nTickets: $25\nThere is a 2 drink or 1 food item minimum\, per person\, during every show at Joe’s Pub. \n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS FROM JOE'S PUB

SUMMARY:Mazel! Yiddish Classics Reimagined by an Unlikely Trio
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate Rosh Hashanah in the company of Janis Siegel\, John Di Martino and Cantor Daniel Kramer for the first live presentation of their highly acclaimed Covid-lockdown album of Yiddish classics with a backbeat. \nWhat happens when a West Village-dwelling 10-time Grammy-winning vocalist extraordinaire from Brooklyn and a cantor from a Long Island congregation get linked by a Grammy-nominated\, Philadelphia-born Italian jazz pianist with a love of Yiddish music? If you’d like to know\, then please join us for a very special show with The Manhattan Transfer’s Janis Siegel\, New York City staple John Di Martino\, and Cantor Daniel Kramer\, as they present Mazel\, a collection of Yiddish and Yiddish-composed tunes reinterpreted through mainly jazz and Latin lenses. \nA unique opportunity to hear from this fascinating (and unlikely) combination of musicians\, this is the first full-length live performance of tunes from the album\, as the pandemic did not allow for such shows at the time of its release.  Many of the musicians from the recording will be in the band\, including Boris Kozlov\, Vince Cherico\, and Aaron Heick. Surprises and shenanigans await! \n\nDaniel Kramer\nJohn Di Martino\nJanis Siegel\n\n7-8.15pm\nTickets: $25 from Joe’s Pub \n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS FROM JOE'S PUB

SUMMARY:Wonderful Town – Jamie Bernstein and Janis Siegel and friends in a seventieth anniversary celebration of Leonard Bernstein’s great downtown musical
DESCRIPTION:A unique and intimate cabaret – featuring the Maestro’s daughter Jamie Bernstein with Grammy-garlanded Janis Siegel\, baritone Michael Kelly\, and pianist Yaron Gershovsky\, long-time musical director of The Manhattan Transfer. A glorious celebration of songs such as “Ohio\,” “Pass the Football\,” and “One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man” – and the stories behind them.  \n“My\, what charm\nMy\, what grace\nPoets and peasants on Waverly Place!”\nWonderful Town immortalized Greenwich Village\, just as a later Leonard Bernstein musical immortalized the West Side of Manhattan. This unique and intimate cabaret – featuring writer and broadcaster Jamie Bernstein\, with Grammy-garlanded chanteuse Janis Siegel\, baritone Michael Kelly\, and pianist Yaron Gershovsky – is a glorious celebration of songs such as “Ohio\,” “Pass the Football\,” and “One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man\,” plus a surprise song famously left out of the original score. For good measure\, this unique evening will also dip into more of the Maestro’s Manhattan musicals\, On the Town and West Side Story – and Jamie will reveal some behind-the-scenes stories! \nBased on the 1940 play My Sister Eileen by Joseph Fields and Jerome Chodorov\, and The Short Stories of Ruth McKenney\, Wonderful Town was Leonard Bernstein’s second salute to New York City. As with the first\, On the Town\, Bernstein teamed up with lyricists Betty Comden and Adolph Green\, Villagers who as cabaret artists had been fixtures at the nearby Village Vanguard. Rosalind Russell\, who had earlier starred in the 1952 film of My Sister Eileen\, was cast again for the Broadway version as Ruth\, and a 25-year-old Juilliard graduate and future TV star\, Edie Adams\, as the ingenue younger sister\, Eileen. Bernstein wrote songs – including “One Hundred Easy Ways to Lose a Man” and “Swing” – that played to Russell’s strengths as a character actress not known for her vocal prowess. The original Broadway production won seven Tony Awards\, including Best Musical. \nOh\, and by the way\, Jamie recalls that her father wrote the musical to cover the cost of her baby clothes and diapers! \n\nJamie Bernstein\nYaron Gershovsky\nMichael Kelly\nJanis Siegel\n\n7-8.15pm\nTickets: $25 from Joe’s Pub \n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS FROM JOE'S PUB

SUMMARY:Janis Siegel: I’ll Take Manhattan
DESCRIPTION:Janis Siegel\, nine-time Grammy winner and founding member of The Manhattan Transfer waxes rhapsodic about her beloved city in this very special jazz cabaret journey which she has curated for The Village Trip. Janis is ably assisted by two master musicians and together they will bring you a diverse collection of songs that are sophisticated\, romantic and bittersweet\, both vintage and modern\, and full of heart and history… Just like New York City itself. \nWhile they will be performing a couple of the more popular songs referencing our great city\, Janis and her friends will mostly be exploring hidden treasures such as Jerome Kern and P.G. Wodehouse’s “Nesting Time in Flatbush\,” Dave Frishberg’s poignant “Do You Miss New York?\,” and a couple of songs honoring Janis’s home\, the holy city of Brooklyn. She teases: “I may even premiere a new vocalese to Errol Garner’s incredible reading of ‘Stompin’ At the Savoy.’ We’ll be taking the A-Train to meet you ‘up on the roof’ at this unique musical event saluting the greatest city in the world.” \nJanis will be joined by pianist John di Martino and bass Boris Koslov. \n\nJanis Siegel\nJohn di Martino\nBoris Koslov\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS FROM THE PUBLIC THEATER  & JOE'S PUB		\n			\n	\n\n\n\n \n\nJOE’S PUB\, a program of the Public Theater\, was named for Public Theater founder Joseph Papp. Since it opened in 1998\, Joe’s Pub has played a vital role in The Public’s mission of supporting artists at all stages of their careers with an intimate space to perform and develop new work.

DESCRIPTION:David Amram and Bobby Sanabria’s Masters of the Multiverse!\nWith Peter Brainin\, Silvano Monasterios\, Leo Traversa\, Jennifer Jade Ledesna\, Adira Amram\, and Marcos de la Fuente.\nKerouac’s work was greatly influenced by the stream of jazz that became known as Be Bop. Developed in the mid-1940s by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and his second in command\, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker\, it featured angular melodies\, at times blistering tempos\, the use of Afro-Cuban rhythms\, and complex harmonies\, it challenged jazz players to a new level of improvisational virtuosity that inspired Kerouac and his colleagues. \nTwo musical titans\, David Amram who actually worked with Kerouac\, and Latin jazz master Bobby Sanabria will join forces at Joe’s Pub to celebrate Kerouac’s centennial in a special evening of bebop\, mambo\, and poetry. \nDavid and Bobby will be joined by Peter Brainin\, Silvano Monasterios\, Leo Traversa\, Jennifer Jade Ledesna\, Adira Amram\, and Marcos de la Fuente. \n\nDavid Amram\nBobby Sanabria\nMarcos de la Fuente\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n		\n			\n			BUY TICKETS FROM THE PUBLIC THEATER  & JOE'S PUB		\n			\n	\n\n\n\n \n\n	JOE’S PUB\, a program of the Public Theater\, was named for Public Theater founder Joseph Papp. Since it opened in 1998\, Joe’s Pub has played a vital role in The Public’s mission of supporting artists at all stages of their careers with an intimate space to perform and develop new work.
