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.

  • Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban
    June 4, 2010 Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban By STEVEN McELROY Joseph Papp first presented free Shakespeare performances in Central Park more than 50 years ago. Today, like heat advisories and smelly subway stations, Shakespeare among the elements is intrinsic to summer in the city. While Papp‟s legacy — the Public Theater presentations at the Delacorte in Central Park — is the best known of the productions, there are myriad offerings from smaller companies, and some of them are already under way. For some purveyors of outdoor theater, the appeal lies partly in one of Papp‟s original goals, to bring Shakespeare to the people. Hip to Hip Theater Company, for example, performs in parks in Queens. “To these people the Delacorte might as well be in Montana,” said Jason Marr, the artistic director. “It appeals to my political sense that we are doing something in the community and for the community.” Several artistic directors said that when admission was free and audiences could wander in and out as they pleased, they were more likely to sample Shakespeare or other classical plays, even if they were unfamiliar. “It brings people in who would not go to see Shakespeare, no matter what level of education,” said Ted Minos, the artistic director of the Inwood Shakespeare Festival. Such settings can also enrich the Shakespeare experience. “Many of the plays have natural outdoor themes because they were all performed outdoors originally, and that‟s something not to forget,” said Stephen Burdman, the artistic director of New York Classical Theater. “Shakespeare‟s language is so nature-oriented, whether he‟s going on and on about fishing, which he does, or we learn about the Forest of Arden” in “As You Like It.” “You hear the frogs croaking and the crickets chirping,” Mr.

    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.

  • Appendices Section
    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
