Unnatural Acts Will Take Place at Off-Broadway’s Classic Stage Company

Off-Broadway’s Classic Stage Company will present Unnatural Acts, a new play based on the real-life story of Harvard’s “Secret Court” targeting homosexual students in 1920. The show, created by members of the Plastic Theatre and conceived and directed by CSC Associate Artistic Director Tony Speciale, will begin performances on June 14 and open on June 23.

Unnatural Acts is inspired by events that occurred at Harvard University in the spring of 1920, when a student’s suicide sparked a campus-wide investigation by a panel of administrators who convened to investigate, expose and ultimately expel a group of homosexual students. The cast features Jess Burkle, Joe Curnutte, Frank De Julio, Roe Hartrampf, Roderick Hill, Max Jenkins, Brad Koed, Jerry Marsini, Devin Norik, Will Rogers and Nick Westrate.

The production features set design by Walt Spangler, lighting by Justin Townsend, costumes by Andrea Lauer and original music and sound design by Christian Frederickson. The limited engagement runs through July 10.
