Matt Damon, Christine Baranski and Gloria Reuben Join Public Forum Readings in Central Park

Matt Damon, Christine Baranski and Gloria Reuben will participate in the Public Theater’s free one-night-only Public Forum event What Are We Worth? Shakespeare, Money, and Morals on June 17 at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.

Damon, Baranski and Reuben join a stellar line-up that includes Alan Alda, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Raul Esparza, Hamish Linklater, Jesse L. Martin, Lily Rabe and Vanessa Redgrave, among others. The group will perform Shakespeare readings about money and justice, followed by a town-hall conversation with the audience conducted by author Michael Sandel.

This marks the third year of the Public Forum lecture series. Tickets will be distributed, two per person, at noon on June 17 at the Delacorte, as well as via the virtual ticket drawing at www.shakespeareinthepark.org.

The event is Damon’s first outing at the Public, while Baranski returns to the company after taking on the role of the Nurse in the company’s 50th anniversary gala reading of Romeo and Juliet. Baranski’s other Public Theater credits include Hamlet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Reuben appeared at the Public in Stuff Happens and Conversations in Tusculum.
