Classic Stage Company (CSC), under the leadership of Artistic Director Brian Kulick and Executive Director Jessica R. Jenen, has announced details for their upcoming 2010-11 season, the esteemed downtown theater company’s 44th, which will include five Mainstage productions, as well as their popular Special Series. 

The season will begin in September with the New York premiere of ORLANDO, written by acclaimed playwright Sarah Ruhl (In the Next Room, Clean House), adapted from the work of Virginia Woolf, and directed by Rebecca Taichman.  Spanning three centuries, the play chronicles the boisterous adventures of Orlando, a young nobleman in Queen Elizabeth’s court who awakes in the middle of his life to discover that he is now a she, and immortal to boot.  What ensues is a journey through the less accepting 18th and 19th Centuries where Orlando becomes a wife, mother and finally a witness to the brink of full suffrage for women.

In January, CSC reunites much of the cast and creative team from their 2009 acclaimed production of Uncle Vanya, this time in Chekhov’s masterpiece THREE SISTERS.  The exemplary cast includes Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mamie Gummer, Josh Hamilton, Roberta Maxwell, George Morfogen, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Peter Sarsgaard and Louis Zorich, among others.  Austin Pendleton again directs.    

In March, CSC will present DOUBLE FALSEHOOD, Shakespeare’s long lost play (recently discovered after 400 years of scholarly questing), presented in a minimalist staging, directed by CSC Artistic Director Brian Kulick.  This chamber production will be augmented with a special expansion of CSC’s popular Open Rehearsal Series as well as a series of panel discussions with noted Shakespeare scholars.

In April, playwright David Ives and director Walter Bobbie reunite following this season’s sold out run of Venus In Fur with SCHOOL FOR LIES.  This time, the acclaimed and prolific duo will present a free-form, modern riff on Molière's immortal comic classic The Misanthrope.   

The season wraps next June with UNNATURAL ACTS, conceived and directed by Tony Speciale.  In this theatrical retelling of a true story,   Harvard University’s administration has set up a secret court to determine what is taking place in Perkins Hall, Room 28.  Behind those doors, eleven young men will discover themselves, their sexuality and an implacable intolerance that will forever alter their lives. 

The 2009-2010 season will also include the company’s popular First Look Festival.  This year First Look turns its gaze to Molière, with Tartuffe, School for Wives, and The Misanthrope, in April and May, 2011.
