Back by popular demand! We are thrilled to remount our SOLD OUT production of THE COMEDY OF ERRORS from 2025, this time at the Playscape in Battery Park. This wild, whimsical, energetic farce will be free for all audiences! "One of the greatest joys of site-specific theater is letting the story feed the setting and the setting feed the story," says Gibbs. "Battery Park offers an evocative setting for Shakespeare's story of immigration, wealth, and belonging. We're thrilled to perform in the historic ShowBox stage co-designed by legendary puppeteer, Basil Twist. We're honored that LMCC recognizes the value of bringing free, imaginative theater into public spaces and making it accessible to wide-ranging communities."
