Shakespeare on the Run is back! Stephen Burdman, Artistic Director, will direct you in the right
direction, so you don't miss a thing. This year their productions
return to our original home in Central Park—the newly restored
gardens at 103rd Street & Central Park West. Surrounding an
enchanting lake, this is one of the most beautiful areas of the
entire Park!!! As you watch the show, the next scene that is about to happen, happens about 50 ft away, and then they are off. The whole audience runs to where the scene is taking place! Every 5-7 minutes, so no snoozing during this show! The play moves along using trees, rocks, benches and even the audience as scenery! There are no lines to wait on, no reservations to make, and no tickets to buy! Just show up! Lots of fun with this Shakespeare workout. Fun for the whole family. Wear comfortable shoes or sneakers, and you can even come in on your bike, rollerblades, scooter and even with your dog! The show is wheelchair accessible and perfect to bring the little ones in their strollers. As the sun goes down, Stephen, his crew and even the fireflies help with the lighting. Great for the family, a date, with friends, or even alone, you'll have a great time experiencing Shakespeare with The New York Classical Theater! Come early and have a picnic before the show! Thursdays through Sundays 7pm Sharp! |
