The 2026-27 season at Classic Stage Company (CSC) is a testament to the theater's commitment to pushing boundaries and reimagining classic works. With a lineup that includes a Steven Pasquale-directed revival of Clifford Odets' Waiting for Lefty, a New York premiere of Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, and the provocative Wonder! A Woman Keeps a Secret, CSC is set to deliver a season that is both thought-provoking and entertaining. But what makes this season truly exciting is the innovative approach to these timeless plays, blending classic social protest with contemporary sound and bold theatricality. In my opinion, CSC is not just presenting plays; they are offering a journey through time and space, where the past and present collide to create something new and compelling. So, let's dive into the details of each production and explore what makes them so fascinating.
