JOE’S PUB IN THE PARK
Returning for the first time since it was initially staged in 2004, JOE’S PUB IN THE PARK captures the quality and range of performances that have made Joe’s Pub, now in its ninth year of providing music at its downtown home, one of the most acclaimed and popular clubs in New York City. Pub in the Park brings that talent and diversity into The Public Theater’s most visible and accessible venue, the annual home of Shakespeare in the Park. Drawing from a pool of the literally thousands of artists that have performed at Joe’s Pub, the event’s programming combines musicians from varying genres and backgrounds together onto multiple full-length artist bills designed to bring disparate audiences together.
Highlights include:
