Joe Papp in Five Acts
Directed by Tracie Holder and Karen Thorsen
USA, 2012, 84 min
English, Documentary
The story of New York's indomitable, street-wise champion of the arts who introduced interracial casting, free Shakespeare in the Park, Hair, and A Chorus Line, and nurtured many great playwrights, directors, and actors. Using his life and work as its prism, the film explores the issues he chose to champion: freedom of expression; democracy in the arts; the definition of American culture. "When I go into East Harlem or Bedford-Stuyvesant and see the kids who come to see our shows, I see nothing so clearly as myself." Joe Papp
