The Public Theater

The Young Partners Program

Our Young Partners are a dynamic group of New Yorkers in their 20’s and 30’s who share a passion for The Public Theater’s mission and activities. To encourage a new generation of engagement with The Public, they support and celebrate our groundbreaking productions of new works and the classics at 425 Lafayette Street, free Shakespeare in Central Park, and diverse concerts and performances at Joe’s Pub through special events and initiatives throughout the year.

Led by the Late Nite Committee for Young Partners, members of the program receive benefits including invitations to parties and plays, discussions and performances and enjoy evenings out with up-and-coming actors, writers, directors, musicians, artists, and art-lovers alike.
