Celebrating Yosl – Joe Papp at 100
NEW YORK, New York – He revolutionized theater as we know it today and now the late Joe Papp, born ‘Yosl Papirofsky,’ will be the subject of a major memorial commemoration on what would have been his centennial birthday on June 22. The tribute will be presented by YI Love Jewish (a division of Yiddishkayt Initiative).
“Celebrating Yosl – Joe Papp at 100” will be hosted by YI founder and CEO, world renowned actor and Jewish cultural activist Avi Hoffman, who was mentored by Joe Papp in the 1980’s. The full day of events will feature live, virtual and pre-recorded performances starting at 11 a.m. and continuing into the evening. In the spirit of Papp’s visionary free-Shakespeare in the Park, most of the day’s events will be free of charge, with the exception of an exclusive, celebrity-filled gala and reception, at 7 p.m.  ....
