# List of Shakespeare in the Park productions at the Delacorte Theater

The Public Theater has produced over 120 plays and musicals at the Delacorte Theater in New York City's Central Park since the theater's opening in 1962. Currently the series is produced under the brand Free Shakespeare in the Park, and all productions are staged at the Delacorte. In past decades, the series was branded The New York Shakespeare Festival and encompassed productions at both the Delacorte and the Public's downtown location in the former Astor Library.
Henry VIII, staged in 1997, was celebrated as the final work of the Shakespearean canon to be performed as part of the series, but within productions staged at the Delacorte, Macbeth was not performed until 2006 and, as of yet, the three parts of Henry VI have not been performed except as the heavily abridged Wars of the Roses in 1970.
With the 2022 season, As You Like It joined Measure for Measure, Twelfth Night, and Much Ado About Nothing as the most-performed works, each having been produced six times (including musical adaptations).
