SUMMARY: The content is about a book that serves as a roadmap and history book of the theater. The author, who worked alongside Joe Pap for 26 years at the public theater, wanted to provide a personal account of the lively history during that time. The author discusses working with talented actors like James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman, who were given opportunities by Joe Pap despite their doubts about finding a place in Shakespeare. The author advises aspiring performers to pursue their passion, connect with others, and be prepared for the ups and downs of the industry.

Public/Private is Gail's memoir about her life with famous producer/director Joe Papp as they founded the Public Theater in NYC. Over their 26-year relationship, Gail and Joe established a legendary partnership that built the famous theatrical institution. #theatre #nyc #gailmerrifieldpapp
