The Public Theater’s Free Shakespeare in the Park Troilus and Cressida Directed by Daniel Sullivan Delacorte Theater; Central Park, New York, NY Performance Date: August 9, 2016 Reviewed by STEPHANIE PIETROS he Public Theater’s production of Troilus and Cressida, directed by Daniel Sullivan, brought to the forefront the world-weariness of protracted war T that is at the heart of the play. Nothing, not even the brief romance of the titular characters, felt fresh and new, for even that was engineered by the sleazy Pandarus. The set, casting, parallels between Greeks and Trojans, jaded romances, and, ultimately, final battle between Hector and Achilles, all pointed to the conclusion Wilfred Owen drew three centuries after Shakespeare wrote his play: that Horace’s famous dictum about it being sweet and fitting to die for one’s country is not borne out by the realities of wartime.

    Name: Eureka Du Address: 1200 State Street, Utica 13502 NY Email: [email protected] Typography and Information Design PrattMWP College of Art and Design Class #1 Professor: Christina Sharp Content 1.creative brief 4.ideation 2.research 5.development 3.inspiration 6.conclusions Creative Brief In this map project we are selecting a New York State Park, and redesign an engaging and exciting map for the park in Adobe Illustrator for potential visitors through compositions, symbols, icon systems, labels, illustrations, and colors. The redesigned map should be practical and able to be used in the real world. My choice on the New York State Park is the Central Park in Manhatten New York. I Chose Central Park because of my own experience. As a first time visitor in New York last year, I visited Central Park with my cousin who has been living in NewYork for seven years. While I was doing my research, I did not find any map for first-time visitors from the central park official website. If I were on my own while I first visited Central Park, I would not be able to know where to begin my visit. I am sure that the other first-time visitors would have the same problem. These are the reasons that my map is designed for first-time visitors who have a limited amount of time. In my map, I featured several top attractions in and around the park. I also included some top-rated restaurants around and inside the park since Knowing where to consume good food is essential during visiting.

  • Masque Sound Celebrates 50 Years of Providing Audio
    MASQUE SOUND CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF PROVIDING AUDIO EQUIPMENT FOR NEW YORK CITY’S DELACORTE THEATER Majestic Venue Commemorates Golden Anniversary of Shakespeare in the Park NEW YORK, JUNE 19, 2012—As the curtain rises on the 2012 season of Shakespeare in the Park at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, Masque Sound, a leading theatrical sound reinforcement, installation and design company, is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing audio equipment and services to the theater for one of New York City’s most beloved traditions. Shakespeare in the Park moved to its permanent home at the Delacorte Theater in 1962 and since then, New York natives and visitors alike have enjoyed free Shakespeare performances each summer season. The majestic, open‐air theater has a seating capacity of 1,800, and each season more than 100,000 people attend performances produced by The Public Theater. “Masque Sound has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with The Public and Delacorte theaters and their summer productions of Shakespeare in the Park,” says Dennis Short, Masque Sound. “Being able to celebrate 50 years as the theater’s audio equipment provider is quite an accomplishment and demonstrates our commitment to supporting the theatrical community. The Delacorte is in such a magnificent setting, and being able to provide theatergoers with an audio experience to match their visual experience is something we take great pride in doing.” Celebrating its 50th Anniversary, the Delacorte Theater officially opened in Central Park on June 18, 1962 with The Merchant of Venice. The Merchant of Venice was followed that summer by a production of The Tempest, featuring Paul Stevens as Prospero and James Earl Jones as Caliban.
