Picks revealed for summer Central Park plays

The Public Theater will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its Shakespeare in the Park series this summer with a little Bard and a little Sondheim.

The Public said Thursday that Daniel Sullivan will direct "As You Like It" in June with Lily Rabe as Rosalind. A month later, directors Timothy Sheader and Liam Steel will present Stephen Sondheim's and James Lapine's "Into the Woods."

Both works will be free at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. Additional casting and dates will be announced later.

The Shakespeare comedy reunites Rabe and Sullivan, who combined in 2010 in the park with a production of "The Merchant of Venice" led by Al Pacino as Shylock that transferred to Broadway and earned Tony Award nominations for all three.
