The theater produces new plays, musicals and productions of Shakespeare and other classics in its headquarters on Lafayette Street, and free Shakespeare in Central Park each summer at the Delacorte Theater. Its newest performance space, Joe’s Pub, has become a major venue for new work and performances by musicians, spoken word artists and solo performers.
