What a 2025-26 season we have had here at CSC!

We have an incredible 2026-27 on hand, and it’s all thanks to the support of theatergoers who value our mission as a nonprofit, off-Broadway theater.

As we approach the end of our fiscal year, CSC is aiming to raise $30,000! Your gift before June 30th will help ensure the reinvigorating and reimaging of the classics for years to come, for not only our extraordinary artists and audiences, but also the thousands of students we serve through our educational programs.

Huge thanks to Jesse Green at The New York Times for highlighting the incredible story behind our final production of the season! 🎭

Did you know playwright Kirk Lynn discovered over 300 pages of manuscript, handwritten by Thornton Wilder himself? That discovery brought 'Thornton Wilder’s The Emporium' to life, and it’s making its NY premiere right here at Classic Stage.

This transcendent production runs through June 7th only. Don't miss your chance to experience it!

Our season will begin in October 2026 with 'Clifford Odets’ Waiting for Lefty', with original music and arrangements by Yeller Tooth and directed by Steven Pasquale.

In February 2027, CSC will present the New York premiere of 'Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean', with a book & original concept by Ashley Robinson, music by Dan Gillespie Sells, and lyrics by Shakina, based on the play by Ed Graczyk.

CSC’s season will conclude in May 2027 with the New York premiere of 'Wonder! A Woman Keeps a Secret', by Pulitzer finalist Talene Monahon, adapted from the 1714 play, 'The Wonder: A Woman Keeps a Secret, by Susanna Centlivre.'

CSC will also continue the Rediscovery Readings series throughout the season, this year celebrating the "neo-classics", late 20th century works that resonate today. There will be three Rediscovery Readings performed across the season.
