Thank You for Spending Your Summer with NY Classical
AS OUR 2026 SUMMER SEASON COMES TO A CLOSE, WE WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO MADE THE TRAGEDY OF JULIUS CAESAR SUCH A MEMORABLE JOURNEY.
To the thousands of audience members who walked with us through New York’s parks—and to our extraordinary artists, staff, volunteers, donors, and community partners—thank you. This summer was made possible by you.
As we take one last look back at this extraordinary summer and approach the end of our fiscal year, we hope you’ll help us finish strong and set the stage for what comes next.
What does NY Classical do in the off-season?
We find new reasons to talk about Shakespeare, of course!
This time, Stephen Burdman joins Kenneth Branagh and Ryan Reynolds for a little Bard talk ahead of Mayday.
WHO WE ARE
New York Classical Theatre creates and reinvigorates audiences for the theatre by presenting free productions of popular and forgotten classical plays in public spaces throughout New York City. We are also committed to developing and producing new plays by living playwrights that enrich and expand our understanding of what defines a classic.
