Classic Stage Company
Arts & Culture · New York, NY
About
Unlike many Off-Broadway houses that stick to new plays, Classic Stage Company is an award-winning theatre committed to re-imagining the classical repertory for a contemporary American audience. This intimate downtown theater presents plays from the past that speak directly to today's issues, with a clear eye on the future. It's women-led and draws a mixed crowd of locals and travelers, making it a thoughtful stop for queer arts in New York.
The theater is casual and all-ages, so you can settle in without pretense. If you're exploring the area, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) offers a sharp contrast with its vast modern collection not far from here.
