Shakespeare
in the Park - Central Park
Shakespeare
in the Park is New York City's summer stock theater,
but this being New York you can always count on
a first-rate drama "under the stars".
The
program is always a hit with New Yorkers and visitors
alike. Besides the opportunity of seeing great performances,
the best part of this popular theater program is
- it's always free!
Long
lines for the free tickets are a summer tradition
near the Great Lawn of Central Park, especially
when megawatt Hollywood actors are in the cast,
which in the past have included such stars as Meryl
Streep, Natalie Portman, and Kevin Kline, all of
whom have made their mark at the Delacorte Theatre
in recent years.
For
each night's performance, there's a limit of two
tickets per person. The tickets reserve your seat,
so you don't need to wait in line once you have
them. But get there early - tickets go fast!
