2017−2018 SEASON ACT I: SHAKESPEARE AS YOU LIKE IT
BY
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
DIRECTED BY
JOHN DOYLE
ORIGINAL MUSIC BY
STEPHEN SCHWARTZ
SEP 2017
An exiled Duke, his banished daughter, a gentleman in love, and a melancholy traveler. Artistic Director John Doyle and Tony Award-winning composer Stephen Schwartz bring Shakespeare’s pastoral romance into the Jazz Age, with lovers in disguise, troubadours in trouble, and some of Shakespeare’s most beloved characters.
TWELFTH NIGHT
BY
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
NOV 2017
Shipwrecked on the island of Illyria, Viola and her twin brother Sebastian are separated, each fearing the other lost to the sea. Viola disguises herself as a boy and wades into a complex romantic triangle with Duke Orsino and the Countess Olivia. New York’s innovative Fiasco Theater brings their hallmark style and expansive imagination to one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies.
ACT II: AMERICANS FIRE AND AIR
BY
TERRENCE MCNALLY
DIRECTED BY
JOHN DOYLE
WORLD PREMIERE
JAN 2018
This world premiere by Tony Award winner Terrence McNally explores the rich history of the Ballets Russes, Sergei Diaghilev’s itinerant Russian ballet company. Surrounded by great talents of art, design, and music, the tempestuous relationship between Diaghilev and dancer Vaslav Nijinsky revolutionizes dance forever.
SUMMER AND SMOKE
BY
TENNESSEE WILLIAMS
DIRECTED BY
JACK CUMMINGS III
APR 2018
In turn-of-the-century Mississippi, the local minister’s daughter walks the line between piety and sensuality with the neighborhood doctor who grew up next door. Jack Cummings III, Artistic Director of the award-winning Transport Group, helms this sultry Southern Gothic masterpiece marking Tennessee Williams’ long overdue debut at CSC.
ACT III: MUSICAL THEATER CARMEN JONES
BOOK AND LYRICS BY OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II MUSIC BY GEORGES BIZET DIRECTED BY JOHN DOYLE JUN 2018 As the Second World War rages, parachute maker Carmen Jones wages her own quarrel involving an airman and a boxer. Using the score from Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen, this adaptation by Oscar Hammerstein II resets the story with an all African-American cast, and is the first major New York revival since its debut on Broadway 75 years ago.
ACT YOUNG THE STOWAWAY
BASED ON THE PLAYS OF
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
AGES 5+ | STUDENT MATINEES FOR SCHOOLS AVAILABLE
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY
DREW PETERSEN
NOV 2017
Times are changing on the Island of Hockey Puck. A new Duke is ruling with an iron fist, the old Duke disappeared in a puddle of mystery, and a stowaway named Dull is on the run from it all back to her homeland of Illyria. Inspired by Shakespeare and shipwrecks, this world premiere by the acclaimed Trusty Sidekick Theater Company uses puppetry, live music, and a sea of imagination.
JULIUS CAESAR
BY
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
MAR 2018
AGES 12+ | STUDENT MATINEES FOR SCHOOLS AVAILABLE A triumphant leader is welcomed home from war with honors. But some wonder: has he been given too much power? Political alliances face off in Shakespeare’s tragedy of democracy gone wrong in a sharp, energetic production specifically tailored for young audiences. Accompanied by actor-driven workshops, CSC has made Shakespeare engaging and accessible for thousands of New York City students for well over a decade.
