" Central Park&amp;#039;s home to a mile-long line almost every summer morning; fans from all over the world wait hours hoping to score free tickets to the Public Theater&amp;#039;s Shakespeare in the Park productions. This summer&amp;#039;s shows are The Merchant of Venice and A Winter&amp;#039;s Tale, the former of which stars Al Pacino as Shylock and Lily Rabe as Portia.  The critically acclaimed (and audience loved) production will make its way to Broadway this fall, moving from the Delacorte Theatre to the Broadhurst from October 19th through January 9th.   Most of the cast, including Pacino and Rabe will stay on, but Modern Family&amp;#039;s Jesse Tyler Ferguson (who steals the show whenever he&amp;#039;s on stage) will have to head back to LA to shoot his popular sitcom, leaving the role of Solanio available.  Though the show would be brilliantly acted anywhere, half the beauty of the production comes from its staging and the natural setting which means the set design team has serious work cut out for itself. You have until August 1st to catch it in the park. \u2014KATE SIEGEL "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
