We Begin with Classics: How to Radically Impact the Theater Landscape

Rally with the ETC community for this discussion on the state of classics in modern society, and how we can move the needle toward a more inclusive canon and therefore radically change the makeup of the theater landscape.

This event is presented online, in partnership with Howlround TV, of Howlround Theater Commons, and The Acting Company.

Classic Stage Company presents a benefit reading of Last Summer at Blue Fish Cove by Jane Chambers. Directed by Cynthia Nixon.

Don’t miss this one-night ONLY reading of this surprising, hilarious and ultimately devastating comedy about eight queer women and a life-changing summer shared in their beloved lesbian beach enclave that premiered 45 years ago Off-Broadway.
