TIPS: Create a log-in to request free tickets at www.publictheater.org instead of lining up at the park. • The New York Classical Theater performed Cymbelline all through June in Central Park West. They work with an eco-friendly concept called environmental theater, where one literally runs behind the actors to catch the scenes. Each scene therefore has a unique background and setting that features the park. If you love plays, you can still catch some in the city all through summer. The New York Classical Theater performs The Tragedy of Macbeth by William Shakespeare, at Castle Clinton in Battery Park (Lower Manhattan) July 1-2, 5-9 and 11-12 at 7:00 p.m. In August they are performing Misalliance by George Bernard Shaw at 103 Central Park West, Thursday through Sunday, July 31 through August 24 at 7:00 p.m. TIPS: Bring a mat to sit on. Check out www.newyorkclassical.org/current.php. • The Drilling Company puts together Shakespeare in the Parking Lot. They are performing Twelfth Night from July 3 through 19, Henry V from July 24 through August 10, at the Municipal Parking Lot at the intersection of Ludlow and Broome Streets, Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. TIPS: Appear fifteen minutes early to ensure better seating, and bring a mat for sitting on the hard ground of the parking lot. See www.Drillingcompany.org/nowplaying.html. All the above performances are free. |
