We’re proud to be partnering with the Toronto Jewish Film Festival to co-present the Canadian Premiere of this documentary about Joe Papp, founder of The Public Theater and the New York Shakespeare Festival. Papp is responsible for bringing to the stage the first ever production of The Normal Heart, which opened in New York on April 21, 1985, and ran for 294 performances – the Public’s longest-running play to date.

Studio 180 is pleased to announce that we’ve added our name to the growing list of Canadian theatres banding together to support the SummerWorks Theatre Festival in the face of a recent massive cut to the organization’s funding.
