The Delacorte Theatre is Central Park's beloved open-air stage at 81 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024. Best known for Shakespeare in the Park from The Public Theater, this intimate amphitheater seats roughly 1,800 and frames every performance with treetops and skyline views near Belvedere Castle. Summer nights here feel electric, with acclaimed directors, surprise celebrity casts, and New Yorkers gathering for world-class storytelling under the stars.
Planning your visit is simple. Delacorte Theatre seating offers clear sightlines across most sections, and the sound is tuned for crisp dialogue outdoors. Gates typically open early, so arrive with time to settle in, explore concessions, and snap a photo at the lake. Accessible seating and services are available, and the venue is a short walk from the 81 St-Museum of Natural History subway stop. Parking around the park is limited, so public transit or rideshare is your best bet. Performances are weather-aware, so bring a light layer, and check the schedule for plays, special events, and community nights.
