New York Shakespeare Festival

New York Shakespeare Festival or Shakespeare in the Park is the cornerstone series of the New York City theatrical producing organization known as the Public Theater and happens every summer at the outdoor Delacorte Theater in Central Park. Built in 1961 and opened in 1962 the Delacorte hosts free performances of Shakespearean plays by the Public under the mission of its founder, visionary entrepreneur Joseph Papp, that the works of William Shakespeare should be available to everyone. Long queues are common sights near the Great Lawn of Central Park, particularly during the last weekend of a show's run and during productions with big name stars. Originally called the New York Shakespeare Festival under new re-organization and branding, the Public dropped "NYSF" from its name, and has labelled its Delacorte operations as simply "Shakespeare in the Park". Actors such as Meryl Streep, George C. Scott, Colleen Dewhurst, Raúl Juliá, Patrick Stewart, Sam Waterston, Kevin Kline, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Allison Janney, Morgan Freeman, and Al Pacino have performed on the Delacorte stage over the years. In February 2014 it was announced that the summer will feature three returning Shakespeare in the Park veterans. Hamish Linklater returns opposite Lily Rabe in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing directed by Tony Winner Jack O'Brien followed by Academy Award Nominee John Lithgow, in his first appearance at the Delacorte in 35 years, in the title role of King Lear directed by returning Tony Winner Daniel Sullivan.
