Since premiering HAIR in 1967, The Public continues to create the canon of American Theater and is currently represented on Broadway by the Tony Award-winning musical Hamilton by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Ain’t No Mo’ by Obie Award winner Jordan E. Cooper. Their programs and productions can also be seen regionally across the country and around the world.
