A 'Twelfth Night' For All

04:53

Shakespeare in the Park has been a New York City tradition for more than 50 years. Audiences from all over come to see plays performed for free by some of the finest actors — Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington and Kevin Kline among them — in Central Park.

But this year, there's a twist: That stage is being filled not just with professional actors, but community members from all over the city.
