"Shakespeare in the Park"
The unique semi-circular outdoor Delacorte Theater is home to New York City's annual productions of "Shakespeare in the Park."

What a GREAT summer's night out to watch Shakespeare "under the stars" away from all the hustle and bustle of the city!

The Delacorte Theater is located mid-park at 80th Street, on the southwest corner of the Great Lawn. The closest Park entrance from the East Side is Fifth Avenue @ 79th Street; from the West Side, Central Park West @ 81st Street.

Free Tickets
Tickets to the "Shakespeare in the Park" shows are FREE — they are usually given out on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the performance, starting at 1pm at The Delacorte Theater. NOTE: Two-Ticket maximum per person.

Given the popularity of these shows, the tickets are in high demand. During a recent visit to Central Park, we saw hundreds of people camped out on the grass, waiting to get their free tickets. Arrive early in the morning to get a headstart on the crowds.

Famous Statues
at Delacorte Theater
It seems fitting that two sculptures depicting characters from Shakespeare's popular plays — "Romeo & Juliet" and "The Tempest" — should be located outside Delacorte Theater, on the Great Lawn.

"Romeo & Juliet"
The romantic bronze figure of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet
(photo below) is located near the entrance of Delacorte Theater.

@ Delacorte Theater
Mid-Park at 80th Street
The bronze sculpture below depicts Prospero & Miranda — two of Shakespeare's main characters in his play "The Tempest."

The Tempest is located next to Romeo & Juliet, near the front entrance of the Delacorte Theatre.
