Upper West Side

Central Park's open-air amphitheater has hosted free Shakespeare since 1962, where crickets join the chorus and helicopters occasionally steal a scene. The Public Theater's productions turn the Bard into electric, democratic theater for anyone lucky enough to win the digital lottery.
