Reopening Night Official Trailer HBO
The cast, crew and staff of the Public Theater in NYC are filmed as they prepare for 2021's return to the Delacorte Theater in the HBO original documentary Reopening Night.
The film looks at the Black experience in theater and celebrates the production of Merry Wives - the free Shakespeare in the Park production which ran from August 9th through September 18th, 2021 at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
Directed by Rudy Valdez (HBO’s The Sentence), it covers the entire 12-week journey and the obstacles they faced, including record-breaking rain levels, the challenges presented by Covid-19, and the issues of racism surrounding the theater industry both historically and after the murder of George Floyd.
