Skip the lines and get the best seats to a NYC perennial favorite, Shakespeare in the Park! With the added bonus of a pre-show behind-the-scenes tour, complete with stories of how they put on shows in spite of the weather, raccoons, and other only-in-Central-Park pitfalls. Academy Award nominee Sam Waterston (Newsroom, Law & Order, The Public’s King Lear) performs THE TEMPEST, Shakespeare’s classic about young love, old enemies and the eternal magic of storytelling. Exiled to a fantastical island, Prospero unleashes a churning storm to shipwreck the traitor brother who stole his throne and settle the score once and for all. But bitter revenge is upended by newfound love in this sublime masterpiece that proves we are all “such stuff as dreams are made on.” Tony Award nominee Michael Greif (Romeo and Juliet, Our Lady of Kibeho, If/Then, Next to Normal) directs.
