Louis Zorich has withdrawn from the Classic Stage Company production of Anton Chekhov's Ivanov due to a foot injury.

Austin Pendleton will step into the role of Lebedev beginning Oct. 26. Pendleton performed the role in a 1990 production at Yale Repertory.

The cast also features Glenn Fitzgerald, Annette Hunt, Stephanie Janssen, Roberta Maxwell, George Morfogen, James Patrick Nelson, Anthony Newfield, Jonathan Marc Sherman and Anne Troupe.

Performances will continue through Dec. 9.

Translated by Carol Rocamora, the production features scenic design by Tony Award winner Santo Loquasto, costumes by Marco Piemontese, lighting by Keith Parham and original music and sound by Ryan Rumery.
