BREAKDOWN

ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

The production will be staged in New York Classical Theatre’s signature performance style, Panoramic Theatre.
Please read the following extremely carefully:
It is in service of our mission that we assemble a company whose majority is comprised of historically underrepresented performers and whose backgrounds reflect the global majority audience communities we serve in New York City.
NY Classical is committed to expanding the representation of ethnicity, gender, body type, and diverse physical abilities in our productions.
All should be skilled with classical text and have the vocal strength and training/experience to work in large, outdoor spaces without sound amplification. The play will be performed in Central Park (West 103rd x CPW), Carl Schurz Park (East 87th Street x East End Avenue), and The Battery (State Street x Battery Place, Lower Manhattan).
