Following a sold-out run at Brooklyn Academy of Music this past winter, Our Class, by Polish playwright Tadeusz Slobodzianek, will transfer to Classic Stage Company’s Lynn F. Angelson Theater, running September 12-November 3.

Helmed by Ukrainian-born director Igor Golyak, the production is the first of two plays in the Arlekin in Residency at Classic Stage Company series. Golyak’s adaptation of The Merchant of Venice will follow, November 22-December 22.

The cast of Our Class—which follows ten Polish classmates, five Jewish and five Catholic, who later turn on one another—features Gus Birney (The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window) as Dora, Andrey Burkovskiy (Call DiCaprio!) as Menachem, José Espinosa (Take Me Out) as Rysiek, Tess Goldwyn (New Amsterdam) as Zocha, Will Manning (As Reaper in the Summer Gain) as Heniek, Stephen Ochsner (Chicks) as Jakub Katz, Alexandra Silber (Fiddler on the Roof) as Rachelka/Marianna, Richard Topol (Indecent) as Abram, Ilia Volok (Gemini Man) as Władek, and Elan Zafir (Hedda Gabler) as Zygmunt.

Much of the company will return for The Merchant of Venice, including Topol as Shylock and Silber as Portia, joined by Birney, Espinosa, Goldwyn, and Ochsner with additional casting to be announced.

“We’re so pleased to welcome Arlekin and the riveting work of Igor Golyak into our theatre,” says CSC Producing Artistic Director Jill Rafson in a statement. “We’re thrilled to bring in work that is aligned with CSC’s mission and that uses our unique space both to expand the canon and to embrace the theatricality of the Lynn F. Angelson Theater. We’re excited about this Arlekin residency and the collaboration with MART Foundation that is making it possible, and we can’t wait to share these plays both with the CSC communities and audiences who will set foot in our space for the first time.”
