Does anyone know what the schedule is for Much Ado About Nothing in Central Park this summer? How much does it cost? How do you get tickets?

it plays almost every day through August 8 (even July 4). It's completely free. There's just one catch. Tickets are given out in two places, The Public Theater and at the Delacorte, where it is performed. They are given out from 1-3 PM, with lines that start forming as early as 8 AM. It's always a memorable production and a big New York happening.

Thanks. One more question-What time does the show start? Is it at 8 like Broadway shows?

Yup. 8 PM sharp. Last year, they did a funny skit before the show began....all of the actors were on stage playing the audience as the real one entered. the lights went down and two seconds before the play started, the actors playing the audience began to take pictures and have cell phones/beepers go off. this was the way of telling the real audience to shut their phones and not take pictures. hopefully they'll be able to top that this year.
