NEW YORK (AP) - Lily Rabe, John Lithgow and Hamish Linklater are all returning to Central Park's Delacorte Theatre this summer for another round of Shakespeare in the Park.

Lithgow ("3rd Rock from the Sun") last performed at the Delacorte Theater as Laertes in "Hamlet" in 1975. Linklater ("The Crazy Ones") most recently performed there in "The Comedy of Errors" last summer, while Rabe ("American Horror Story") was in the 2012 Shakespeare in the Park production of "As You Like It."
