On July 15, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held to celebrate the reopening of the Delacorte Theater in Central Park after an $85 million renovation, led by Ennead Architects. The Delacorte Theater has been home to the Public Theater’s annual Shakespeare in the Park performances since 1962.

The first show at the renovated theater will be Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, which starts performances on August 7. Twelfth Night cast members Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Sandra Oh (Killing Eve), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
