In 1954, Joseph Papp founded the New York Shakespeare Festival, originally conceiving it as a Shakespeare workshop. The theater originated as a mobile operation in 1956 — a 35-foot trailer pulled by a retrofitted NYC sanitation truck visiting parks, churches, and community orgs.

The Village Voice previews the upcoming Shakespeare in the Park summer productions, "Romeo & Juliet" and "The Winter's Tale."

As Comey comes up for his second turn on the Trump grievance wheel, we as federal taxpayers have to foot the bill for the investigators, prosecutors, judges, courtroom guards, bailiffs, grand juries, and so on, just to hunt down and punish seashell extremists.

Although Fluser came of age in an analog world, he — through his interactions with artists, who are always reconnoitering at the frontiers of being — divined that the cultural, tech, and political fractures of the mid-20th-century would send us heedlessly barreling into the everything digital everywhere all at once 21st.

The Village Voice reviews Martha Schwendener’s new book on Vilém Flusser (1920-1991), who prophesied the dangers of digital tech.

The UAW is telling it like it is: “For far too long, the U.S. tax system has disproportionately benefited large corporations and the ultra-wealthy while punishing the American worker. The tax burden has shifted away from those most able to pay and onto working families and communities in need. This imbalance did not happen overnight, but through decades of legislation and the growing power of billionaires in our government and political system.”

The labor solidarity May Day march — and party — happening on Friday, May 1st, at Union Square is a Village Voice Choice for the week.

Ibogaine treatments could be a great thing for veterans — but why stop with them and politicians? Perhaps the government can put a low dose of ibogaine in the water supply, like fluoride, so the entire nation will have a chance to recover from the instigated anxiety and free-floating depression of the past 11 years. *D
