BP&O features Pentagram’s 2019 campaign for Shakespeare in the Park, designed by Paula Scher and her team for The Public Theater. The work continues a 25-year collaboration, using a bold typographic system and a vibrant red, blue, and yellow palette to express the season’s theme 'Rumours and Rebels'. The campaign spans posters, signage, and print materials across New York City, maintaining continuity with past identities while introducing fresh visual energy.
BP&O features Pentagram’s campaign for Atlantic Theater Company’s 2018–19 season, led by Paula Scher.
