On July 15th, Senator Serrano, as Chair of the Senate Committee on Cultural Affairs, attended the grand reopening of the renovated Delacorte Theater in Central Park alongside representatives from The Public Theater and local officials. The iconic theater, established in 1962, is renowned for its Shakespeare in the Park performances, which have provided free entertainment to audiences for decades.
The Delacorte Theater will reopen on August 7 with a production of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," featuring the talents of Peter Dinklage and Sandra Oh. The upgrades not only preserve the theater's historic charm but also enhance accessibility and incorporate modern technology.
These renovations ensure that the theater remains a free and accessible cultural resource for future generations. The revitalization underscores the importance of the arts in society and aims to enrich the city's cultural landscape.
