This Mobile Unit tour breaks traditional theatrical molds and invite people to gather in public venues and play a role in creating each show.
The Public Theater's MOBILE UNIT has returned this summer with MOBILE UNIT'S SUMMER OF JOY, a free four-week tour to all five boroughs beginning July 31 and running through August 29 as New York City joyously returns to life. In partnership with New York City's Department of Transportation, MOBILE UNIT'S SUMMER OF JOY is popping up at public plazas in neighborhoods that were both traditionally visited by the Mobile Unit tours and hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
