The GOING PUBLIC Campaign will raise $40 million by December 2012 to upgrade facilities to better serve you, our audiences. This renovation builds upon The Public’s tradition of greater access and aims to create a new model of theater: a welcoming, vibrant, cultural home that is as accessible as our eclectic programming.

The Public's goal is to create an inviting venue that is not only a theater, but a seventh stage for audiences and artists to meet, exchange ideas, and address the world in which we live. A place where the meeting of the minds can take place and an emerging writer can have a coffee with a Pulitzer-prize winning playwright and discuss dramatic form; where a young actor can learn from a seasoned professional about performing Shakespearean text; where an audience member can ask a playwright about a new play; and where a teenager can learn about a life in the theater.
