As CSC awaits the return of live productions, its virtual Classic Conversations initiative offers revealing discussions with an array of theater luminaries. Classic Conversations free virtual version will include Performers, Musicians/Composers, Playwrights, and Former CSC Artistic Directors.
Past conversations included some of our favorites such as Anika Noni Rose, André De Shields, and Heather Headley, just to name a few.
Classic Conversations began in 2020 with members of CSC’s pandemic-postponed production of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Assassins, and since then have expanded to capture stories and voices from across a theater world.
Classic Conversations will premiere Thursdays at 6pm on YouTube and Facebook, and available to view afterward on these platforms and Instagram IGTV. See below for the full lineup.
