Series Synopsis:  American Classic tells the story of Broadway star and legendary narcissist Richard Bean who, when exiled from New York, returns home to indulge his ego in the small-town family theater where he made his start. Once there, his extreme behavior sets off a series of crises among those closest to him: his ex-girlfriend (now the town's mayor) married to his brother, his brother himself, and his beloved niece 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.
