The Public Theater will hold its final “Movies Under the Stars” screening on Friday, Sept. 6, at Loreto Playground, located 1111 Van Nest Avenue in the Morris Park section of The Bronx, showing the acclaimed, free “Shakespeare in the Park” production of William Shakespere’s play, Much Ado About Nothing. [The screening was originally due to be shown at Bronx Park East but has since been moved.] The show starts at 8 p.m.

 

In partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment and NYC Parks, The Public Theater will screen 2019’s Much Ado About Nothing, captured live from The Delacorte Theater in Central Park by Thirteen’s Great Performances on PBS. Catch Tony Award winner Kenny Leon’s bold new take on Shakespeare’s cherished comedy of romantic retribution and miscommunication starring Tony and Oscar Award nominee Danielle Brooks.
