Papp speaks to the National Press Club.

During the question and answers session, Papp discusses the possibility of bringing his production of Pirates of Penzance to Washington; his refusal of $223,000 in private support for the New York Shakespeare Festival's summer program at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park following New York mayor Ed Koch's withdrawal of funding.
