Public Theater-- Shakespeare in the Park

This poster in the subway station at 86th and Lexington reminds us that the Public has already done The Comedy of Errors in the Park and that Loves Labour's Lost is coming up--you know, I have no memory at all of Love's Labours Lost, I wonder if  I have EVER seen it ( just as they did Coriolanus years ago, another one that was news to me)..

Just a little about Love's Labour's Lost from the internet: 

Love's Labour's Lost - Shakespeare in the Park

At the Delacorte in Central Park July 23-August 18, the Public Theater presents a new musical based on Shakespeare's madcap celebration of true love and coming of age. Most of the seats are free.

From the producers:

Romance, revelry and enchanting music ignite in this contemporary yet lovingly faithful adaptation. The King and his best buds decide at their five-year college reunion to swear off the joys of women. But when four cute, clever girls from their past show up, they’re forced to reconsider all of that nonsense! Smart, sexy, outrageous, and irreverent, LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST is an unexpected evening of song, sonnets and Shakespeare.

This production reunites the team responsible for the Public's hit musical "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson" - Obie-winning composer Michael Friedman and two-time Tony-nominated director Alex Timbers - and continues The Public's long tradition of premiering new musicals in NYC's most magical summer setting

What is the Public Theater? Founded in 1954 by the legendary showman Joseph Papp, the Public Theater is one of NYC'c preeminent non-profit theaters. Dedicated to the development of new plays and musicals, the theater has spawned many Broadway shows (including "A Chorus Line" and both the original production and recent revival of "Hair") and has 40 Tony Awards to its credit.
