Site on the Public Theatre in NYC

I chose to look up information on the Public Theatre in New York City because I just recently visited New York and I took a tour of the city and passed the Theatre and the tour guide gave us a little information on it but not alot. This assignment made me think more about the theatre and inspired me to gain more knowledge on the theatre than what I already knew. I enjoyed reading the history of the Public theatre in this article because it was very informative and really goes into great detail on how the theatre was formed and what currently goes on there. The Public Theatre was founded by Joseph Papp as the Shakespeare Workshop (which i found the most interesting.) Also, it is currently one of the United States' distinguished cultural institutions. After reading all this information on the Public Theatre it makes me feel very priveleged to have traveled to New York and had the chance to see this fine theatre in person.
