The best free things to do in NYC this weekend

After years as the first outdoor classical-theater production of the summer, Molière in the Park switches positions and becomes the season's final offering. This year's selection—performed as always in Brooklyn's Prospect Parrk—is the great French playwright's philosophically complex 1665 tragicomedy about a serial lothario, which was censored in its day and is rarely performed in ours. Keshav Moodliar takes on the title role, with Alana Raquel Bowers as his servant Sganarelle; Kaliswa Brewster, Kalyne Coleman and Daniel Pearce play all of other characters. Lucie Tiberghien directs a translation by Stephen Wadsworth; Johnathan Moore provides an original cello score. The show is free but reservations are strongly suggested.
