Pre-Show Gathering

We will kick off the night at 7:00pm with a pre-show gathering hosted by MAC near the Delacorte Theatre (exact location will be shared upon confirmation of tickets). This gathering will be a time to socialize, meet fellow theatre-lovers, and celebrate Disability Pride! Light refreshments will be provided.

Then, join MAC at 8:00pm to watch the show! We have a limited number of tickets available on a first come, first served basis. Fill out our Ticket Request form to express your interest in 1 or 2 tickets, and you will hear from us on Tuesday, July 12 if your spot is confirmed.

About the Show

Tony Award nominee Robert O’Hara (Slave Play, The Public’s Barbecue) brings his sharp wit and story-telling genius to The Delacorte with a bold new production of RICHARD III. One of Shakespeare’s most indelible villains, Richard is determined to be King. Following his lust for power and the throne, he manipulates, kidnaps, and kills all who stand between him and his throne, using brilliant words and dark charm to conceal his dismantling of government and justice. This masterful dive into the muddy middle between political genius and violent power grab will open Free Shakespeare in the Park’s 60th Season with piercing relevancy and electrifying drama. For more, visit The Public Theater’s website.
