We had a great lineup of shows in 2024-25. Our Subscription Series opened in October with an extended run of the hilarious Off-Broadway comedy Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors and included, Every Brilliant Thing, Halfway There, and Now and Then. In December, the holiday tradition of A Christmas Carol continued and we welcomed our youngest theatre-goers to The Dragon King in May.
Attention all film lovers and film makers:
The Public Theatre will be hosting the 28th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT film festival. Film lovers will unite in over 500 venues worldwide to view and judge the work of the next generation of filmmakers from around the world
Since we’re currently unable to perform A Christmas Carol, we decided to make a series of three short videos sharing some fascinating footage and fun anecdotes from the past 27 years of performing our unique adaptation.

The arts bring us together. Performing arts organizations and venues are economic hubs, providing important financial injections into their local economies. The funds generated go directly back into the communities we serve through jobs, vendor contracts, and further driving area businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and retail. Every $1 spent on cultural tourism results in $46 spent in the local economy.
