"The Public Theater announced the return of its beloved Free Shakespeare in the Park program, now part of a sprawling, citywide initiative dubbed Shakespeare for the City. Running from May 22 through September 8, the expanded program will bring performances, events and community programming to parks and plazas across all five boroughs."
"Crucially, the program's famously democratic ticketing system is also expanding. Free ticket vouchers for performances at the Delacorte will once again be handed out across the city, including 12 branches of Citizens, the program's presenting partner."
"The festivities kick off on May 30 with a free, family-friendly celebration at the Delacorte, marking the theater's reopening after its recent refresh. But if you can't make it, don't worry."
