Photo Flash: A CLASS ACT Begins Tonight at New World Stages

After enjoying its World Premiere engagement earlier this spring at the Playroom Theater, A CLASS ACT, the inaugural and relevant new play by attorney and playwright Norman Shabel, will now hold court at New World Stages - Stage 5 (340 West 50th Street - between 8th & 9th Avenues) for a summer run. Produced by Eric Krebs, performances will begin tonight, July 9 at 8pm and continue through Sunday, September 4. BroadwayWorld has photos from the first rehearsal below!

In A CLASS ACT, when a major chemical company pours cancer-causing waste into the water supply, a high-poweRed Law firm brings a class action lawsuit on behalf of the thousands of people affected. Who wins? Who loses? Who makes millions whether they win or lose? Which lawyers battle the best... or the worst? Does the ordinary person ever realize justice in the end?

Directed by Christopher Scott, the cast features Stephen Bradbury (On Golden Pond, Melissa's Choice), Matthew DeCapua (Come Blow Your Horn, Morning Star), Andrew Ramcharan Guilarte (Disgraced, A Midsummer Night's Dream), Lou Liberatore (As Is, Burn This), David Marantz (Merry Wives Windsor, Twelfth Night), Nick Plakias (Moby Dick--Rehearsed, The Miser), and Jenny Strassburg (The Importance of Being Earnest, The Great Gatsby).

The production team for A CLASS ACT is Josh Iacovelli (scenic design), Dustin Cross (costume design), Joan Racho-Jansen (lighting design) and Jared Sclar (sound design). Jana Llynn is Production Stage Manager. Christine Viega is Stage Manager.
