The Public Theater announced initial casting for Twelfth Night, directed by The Public’s Associate Artistic Director/Resident Director Saheem Ali, which will reopen the revitalized Delacorte Theater in August 2025. At long last, Free Shakespeare in the Park will return to its home with an all-star cast of Public Theater alumni.

Initial casting for Twelfth Night includes Peter Dinklage (Malvolio), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Andrew Aguecheek), Lupita Nyong’o (Viola), and Sandra Oh (Olivia). Additional casting and creative team details will be announced this fall.

The Delacorte will reopen to all New Yorkers next summer. For more information on The Delacorte’s revitalization, visit thepublic.nyc/Delacorte-Revitalization.

Ticketing information and dates for the production will be made available in 2025.
