Joseph "Joe" Papp (June 22, 1921 – October 31, 1991) was an American theatrical producer and director. Papp established The Public Theater in what had been the Astor Library Building in downtown New York. "The Public," as it is known, has many small theaters within it. There, Papp created a year-round producing home to focus on new creations, both plays and musicals. Among numerous examples of these creations were the works of David Rabe, Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf, Charles Gordone's No Place to Be Somebody (the first off-Broadway play to win the Pulitzer Prize), and Papp's production of Michael Bennett's Pulitzer Prize–winning musical, A Chorus Line. Upon Papp's death, The Public Theater was renamed the Joseph Papp Public Theater.
Papp was born Joseph Papirofsky in Brooklyn, New York, New York, the son of Yetta (née Miritch), a seamstress, and Samuel Papirofsky, a trunkmaker. His parents were Jewish immigrants from Russia. (The 2010 documentary film Joe Papp in Five Acts says his mother was a Lithuanian Jew, and his father a Polish Jew.) He was a high school student of Harlem Renaissance playwright Eulalie Spence.

http://www.americanantigravity.com - Mark Hugo demonstrates how HHO may be a nuclear process involving cold fusion, and may also be the force responsible for the Papp Engine. After modifying a Buick Park Avenue sedan to run on an HHO (Brown's Gas) and gasoline mixture, he found a 30% increase in fuel-efficiency from the HHO addition. This led to some difficult questions, however, because the amount of Brown's Gas being added to his fuel mixture was miniscule, so he began searching for another explanation. Hugo found the work of Dr. Richard A. Oriani and James C. Fisher, who claim to have validated cold fusion alpha-reactions inside of traditional HHO cells - which are built very similar to HHO electrolyzers. Hugo found their research compelling enough to begin researching Oriani's tests...

The Papp engine is a great example of a successful scam. Josef Papp was able to live a lavish life by scamming people with a machine that did not work and to this day people are still continuing the scam or trying to get the machine to work. A lesson in how easy it is to take advantage of people's ignorance, how easy it is to make millions by lying to people and how gullible people are.

In 1980, to commemorate the centenary of 'Pirates', Joseph Papp produced the opera for Broadway. Papp was best known for the New York Shakespeare Festival, but he was also a G&S; lover. The production was launched in Central Park, then transferred to the Broadway Stage, where it ran for over 800 performances. It won Tony Awards for Best Revival, Best Director (Wilford Leach) and Best Actor (Kevin Kline). Linda Ronstadt was nominated for Best Actress in a Musical. The production toured nationally, and also had a run in London's West End. The recording includes the same performers as the Broadway production, excepting the role of Ruth, who was played there by Patricia Routledge. The Papp production took liberties with the music, as well as the dialog, for Broadway audiences. New orchestratio...

A Huey P. Newton Story is an American film directed by Spike Lee. The movie was created, written and performed, as a solo performance, by Roger Guenveur Smith at The Joseph Papp Public Theater. In this performance, Smith creates a representation of the activist Huey P. Newton's life and time as a person, a citizen and an activist. During the performance, the background images on the wall play clips from the movement showing activist movements form the era. The simple arrangement of the setting with Smith sitting in a chair in the middle of the stage, make the audience focus on what the performer has to say. Smith captures the attention of the audience throughout the film by putting into play his solo performance skills. Smith's idea for the performance originated in 1989 and took root as a...
