| CSC ANNOUNCES A ONE-NIGHT-ONLY CONCERT PRESENTATION OF EDGE OF THE WORLD BOOK, MUSIC, & LYRICS BY NICK BLAEMIRE AND TONY AWARD NOMINEE ETHAN SLATER FEATURING TONY AWARD WINNER NORBERT LEO BUTZ TONY AWARD NOMINEE LILLI COOPER TUESDAY JULY 16, 2024 AT 7PM AT CSC'S LYNN F. ANGELSON THEATER TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW (June 5, 2024 – New York, New York) Classic Stage Company (Jill Rafson, Producing Artistic Director) announced today a one-night-only concert presentation of Edge of the World, a new musical with a book, music, and lyrics by Nick Blaemire (Space Dogs) and Tony Award nominee Ethan Slater (CSC's Assassins). Edge of the World will be held at CSC's Lynn F. Angelson Theater on Tuesday July 16 at 7pm. For tickets and more information, please visit: www.classicstage.org/choose-seats/?eid=EdgeoftheWorld2024 Edge of the World launches CSC's Old Friends, New Classics series, which offers company-affiliated artists an opportunity to present their latest material. Old Friends, New Classics is generously supported by Matt Benjamin and Yeeta Yeger. "I'm thrilled to have Ethan back at CSC with this fantastic musical that he and Nick have created," said Producing Artistic Director Jill Rafson. "CSC has such an incredible group of artists who have made an impact on our stage over our storied history, and I love that we have this new series to make sure they can come back again and again. Edge of the World is a great way to launch the program, and I can't wait to share everything else we have in store in the season ahead from the artists who call CSC home." The cast of Edge of the World will include Slater as Ben, Norbert Leo Butz (My Fair Lady) as Henry, and Lilli Cooper (POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive) as Kath. They previously appeared on the concept album of Edge of the World produced by Broadway Records and will reprise their roles for this performance. When young Ben (Ethan Slater) and his father Henry (Norbert Leo Butz) move to a geological research outpost in rural Alaska, the only other person for hundreds of miles is a fellow researcher named Kath (Lilli Cooper). Ben uses his imagination to cope with his new surroundings, but as he learns more about the circumstances that brought him into isolation, the line between lie and reality begins to blur. It's a sweeping, handmade fable about the world we're given, and the one we make for ourselves. Tickets for the concert range from $35-100 and are available by at www.classicstage.org/choose-seats/?eid=EdgeoftheWorld2024. ABOUT CLASSIC STAGE COMPANY Classic Stage Company (CSC) challenges the traditional perception of classic work by exploring and reimagining great stories across the world's repertoire that illuminate our common humanity. As a home for the classics, CSC collaborates with artists to produce work that is inclusive, relevant, and accessible. CSC believes that theater can both reflect and improve society by reaching across cultural divides in order to foster shared empathy and understanding. In 1967, director Christopher Martin founded CSC Repertory in a 100-seat theater at Rutgers Presbyterian Church on West 73rd Street. Following short stints in small spaces, CSC grew to the point where it needed a permanent home. In 1973, the theater moved to its present premises on 13th Street, an intimate space that was formerly an East Village carriage house. In the 57 years since, CSC has become a leading Off-Broadway theater that is a home for new and established artists, as well as audiences seeking epic stories intimately told. Productions have been cited by all major Off-Broadway theater awards including the Obie, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, and the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Body of Work. |
