The origins of Shakespeare in the Park

by Diana Chan

Joe Papp built a stage on a 35 foot portable truck so he could bring Shakespeare to other communities. "I found myself directing all the plays on the mobile unit, because I felt this was the thing I wanted to be closely identified with, to bring Shakespeare to these communities," said Papp. The post The origins of Shakespeare in the Park appeared first on American Masters.
