Announcing the 2023 Season

Join us as we celebrate sixteen years of presenting free and accessible professional classical theatre in NYC. The Comedy of Errors and The Tragedy of Richard II will tour in repertory to ten parks from August 2-26.

Plus, we are thrilled to announce the return of "Kids & the Classics." This interactive children's workshop will be offered thirty minutes before each performance.

The Tragedy of Richard II

Raised to believe his every thought is sanctioned by God, King Richard is dangerously out of touch. When his cousin Henry Bolingbroke challenges Richard for the throne, it's a fight the king can't win. But in losing his crown he gains his humanity and his soul.

The Comedy of Errors

Double trouble is double the fun! Two pairs of long-lost twins end up in the same small town. Delight in the confusion as mistaken identities and goofy hijinks mount until chaos reigns. Spoiler alert: this one has a happy ending.

Kids & the Classics

Kids & the Classics is a theatre workshop for children ages 5 to 12, offered thirty minutes before each performance. It gives children a chance to interact with the text by previewing the story, and by creating links between the text and their own lives through theatre games and close reading.


Programming made possible in part with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
