"More than anyone else, Gail can pull back the curtain on the most dynamic story in New York theater’s recent history."

My memoir is available now!

[Gail Merrifield Papp @papp_gail]

I am excited to reintroduce myself to the world of social media, sharing insights from my new book with anyone who believes the arts are for everybody & has a dream to create something that didn’t exist before, based on the power of an idea that engages the dreams of others!

[Gail Merrifield Papp @papp_gail]

Happy to have friends from L.A. who are theater fans!

Thanks to Michael Dains & Kate O’Neal for joining me at #JoesPub to see @JoeyAriasNYC!
