New York Classical Theatre presents "Cymbeline"

originally published: 05/24/2022


(NEW YORK, NY) -- New York Classical Theatre has announced casting for Shakespeare’s romantic adventure Cymbeline, directed by Stephen Burdman. The production will be presented from June 14 to July 10, 2022 at public parks in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

The cast will feature Brandon Burk (Comedy of Errors at Kentucky Shakespeare) as Posthumus/Guiderius, Aziza Gharib (Love’s Labour’s Lost at the Colorado Shakespeare Festival) as Imogen/Jupiter, Ché Lyons (4:48 Psychosis at Baltimore Theatre Project) as Queen/Belarius, Evan Moore-Coll (NY Classical’s King Lear and Macbeth) as Cloten/Cornelius/Soothsayer/British Soldier, Christian Ryan (Macbeth at Orlando Shakespeare) as Iachimo/Aviragus, Nick Salamone (NY Classical’s As You Like It and The Seagull) as Cymbeline, and Terrell Wheeler (Fly at Pasadena Playhouse and Florida Studio Theatre) as Pisanio/Caius Lucius.

“Our Cymbeline is Imogen’s story,” said Burdman. “We believe her bravery, ingenuity, and integrity make her an inspiring protagonist worth interpreting today. Imogen is the catalyst in the world of the play: she takes agency and—with some disguises and a few swordfights—overturns Cymbeline’s royally classist policies.”

Cymbeline will feature costume design by Sabrinna Fabi, fight direction by Sean Michael Chin, and voice and speech coaching by Cynthia Santos-DeCure. Stephanie Klapper is the Casting Director; marcus d. harvey is the Casting Liaison. Yetti Steinman is the Production Stage Manager and Supervising Producer, and Meg Dowling is the Assistant Stage Manager.

Performances will be Tuesday through Sunday at 7:00pm: Central Park (West 103rd Street & Central Park West) from June 14 - 26, 2022; Carl Schurz Park (East 86th Street & East End Avenue) from June 28 - July 3, 2022; and Brooklyn Commons Park at MetroTech (Myrtle Avenue & Bridge Street) from July 5 - 10, 2022.  Tickets are free of charge. Reservations are recommended and can be made at nyclassical.org/cymbeline.
