Forever Public endeavors to ensure the future of great, accessible theater for all.
Nestled under a canopy of majestic trees, The Delacorte Theater is a unique destination in the heart of Central Park. It provides hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers and visitors with the transformative experience of The Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare in the Park.
After six decades, hundreds of performances, and over six million visitors, The Delacorte Theater is undergoing a major makeover.
The re-visioned open-air theater will include a new facade, enhanced accessbility for artists and audiences, improved sustainaiblity, and more, ensuring The Delacorte Theater and the magic of Free Shakespeare in the Park for generations to come.
As our city comes together to rebuild The Delacorte, The Public is building the first-ever permanent endowment Fund for Free Theater.
The Fund will protect the Public's extraordinary free programs:
The Public is enormously grateful to all who have so generously supported this Capital Campaign.
