Artistic director Oskar Eustis does maintain that the festival is on "hiatus."
As BroadwayWorld's Cara Joy David first reported earlier this week, The Public Theater made 'a financial decision' to pause its annual Under the Radar festival- a decision that has rocked the experimental theatre community.
Last week, at a time when Broadway producers were worried about last-minute campaigning and how performers are going to change at the United Palace with limited dressing room space, a fact buried in a New York Times article shook the theater community. It was there that it was announced that The Public’s Under the Radar festival was no more.
This new development is part of a disturbing trend, with producers of new work and experimental theatre shutting their doors.
