Molière in the Park MIP is dedicated to presenting free, world class theater in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park and beyond.

The mission of Molière in the Park (MIP) is to foster empathy and unity within the diverse communities in Brooklyn through the arts. We offer free opportunities for all to come together in Prospect Park and experience the benefits of theater. MIP’s vision is of a Brooklyn where all communities can benefit equally from access to theater and the Arts. Your support is an invaluable contribution to our growth, and ensures that we can serve our community with free theater for years to come.

One of the incredible honorees of our upcoming gala is activist, community organizer, and District 39 (which includes Prospect Park) Council Member, Shahana Hanif! Learn more about Council Member Shahana Hanif below, and join us on November 9 at Roulette Intermedium for a spectacular celebration of 7 years of free theater in Brooklyn. Only a few tickets left! ⚡

Council Member Shahana Hanif made history in 2021 as the first Bangladeshi and Muslim woman elected to the New York City Council, representing District 39 in Brooklyn. Currently chairing the Council's Committee on Disabilities and Accessibility, her advocacy is rooted in personal experience—diagnosed with Lupus at seventeen and later denied Access-A-Ride, she witnessed firsthand the barriers facing New Yorkers with disabilities. During her tenure, she has passed landmark legislation expanding abortion access, advancing climate justice, strengthening worker protections, and investing in domestic violence survivor safety. In 2025, she was re-elected to serve her final term.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for DON JUAN at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside this September. A huge thank you to our cast, crew, volunteers, and the Prospect Park and LeFrak teams for their efforts in bringing this hilarious, tragic, and beautiful play to Brooklyn's Backyard for free.

This was our most ambitious production to date and our attendance numbers are the hghest we ever experienced. While our goal was to reach 10,000 reservations this year, we got 14,400, with many shows reaching capacity way in advance.

We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by the cancellation of our last two shows this past Sunday - the nor'easter caused more damage than we initially assessed, and we are implementing new protocols to prevent such situations in the future.

More from Molière in the Park soon! 🎭

Mayor of New York City, Zohran Kwame Mamdani sent MIP a heartfelt message of support and best wishes for our opening night of Don Juan.

"[Don Juan] reminds us all that humor truly transcends time, as does the joy of collectively sharing a theatrical experience with friends and neighbors."

We feel so fortunate to have a mayor who believes so deeply in making the arts accessible to everyone, and we look forward to continuing to expand that access through ambitious, free theater in Brooklyn for years to come. Thank you Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani !

FINAL WEEK OF DON JUAN IS HERE! A few upcoming dates are already waitlist only - make sure to snag your free tickets now ⚡

Thank you Tyrell for sharing your first experience with an MIP production. When an audience member has such a good time at our show that they decide to tell others, that hits harder than any piece in a major publication. (Sorry NY Times!) 🥹 🎭

"Molière’s Don Juan takes audiences on a feverish journey from seduction to reckoning, blending farce, tragedy, and the supernatural in a provocative examination of hypocrisy, morality, and the consequences of unchecked desire. In the free outdoor production by Molière in the Park (MIP), this darkly comic masterpiece proves as entertaining as it is unsettling, holding up a mirror to human folly while leaving audiences to determine where they stand." - Deirdre Donovan, Off Off Online

Molière in the Park's Don Juan is running through September 27 at LeFrak Center at Lakeside. RSVP for free now.
