Kevin Kline Begs Laura Linney To Save Theater In American Classic Clip

American Classic tells the story of Broadway star Richard Bean (Kevin Kline), who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns home to the family theater where he first became aware of his own brilliance. Once there, his extreme behavior sets off a series of crises among those closest to him: his ex-girlfriend (now the town's mayor, played by Laura Linney) married to his brother, his brother himself (Jon Tenney), and his beloved niece (Nell Verlaque), who dreams of a life in the theater.

As old loves resurface and buried secrets emerge, Richard must confront the consequences of his past actions and the family and town he left behind for fame and glamour. Each season follows a different Richard Bean production that will reflect the stories unfolding in the lovable but flawed Bean family and the transformative power of making art.

Episode 6 of American Classic airs Sunday, March 29 at 9pm PT/ET on MGM+.
