NEW YORK, N.Y. – An all-star line-up including Matt Damon, Alan Alda and Vanessa Redgrave will feature in a night of readings and a town hall discussion hosted by The Public Theater.

The June 17 event at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park will also feature Christine Baranski, Gloria Reuben, Raul Esparza, Hamish Linklater, Jesse L. Martin, Lily Rabe and Marsha Stephanie Blake.
