Director of Talley's Folly, Michael Wilson shares some of his insight and experience with Education Dramaturg Ted Sod.

Mention of the 1950s is likely to inspire images of housewives rolling out pie dough, sock hops, white picket fences, and teenagers sitting in malt shops. However, we often forget that the '50s weren't all about Doris Day and "Leave It to Beaver". It was also the era of rock'n'roll music and the Beat Generation. This is the reality that the characters of William Inge'sPicnic inhabit. They may have a fenced-in yard, but it's wildly unkempt. Teenagers may drive off to the malt shop, but they're doing a lot more driving than they're telling their parents about.

On December 18, join us at Studio 54 for the 8pm performance of The Mystery of Edwin Drood and an exclusive post-show discussion with Stephanie J. Block (Edwin Drood), hosted by Time Out New York Theater editor David Cote.

The past few days have not been easy for anyone in the tri-state area. Hurricane Sandy caused damage to an extent that I have never before witnessed in New York City and the metropolitan area and put to the test our resolve that "the show must go on." It's a terrible situation, and my sympathy goes out to everyone affected.

It is my pleasure to announce the full cast for our production of Talley's Folly, which will be directed by Michael Wilson at the Laura Pels Theatre this winter. The actors taking on this two-hander will be Danny Burstein (Matt Friedman) and Sarah Paulson (Sally Talley).

In a new translation by Ranjit Bolt under the direction of Jamie Lloyd, Cyrano de Bergerac marks our first production at the American Airlines Theatre this season in a production that will leave you breathless. Jamie is making his Broadway directorial debut with this production, and he has no interest in entering the scene quietly. Obviously, I'm perfectly aware that Cyrano is not a piece that has been neglected on big stages in recent years. However, when a director has an exciting new vision for this kind of enduring story, with new ways of looking at iconic scenes and characters, it's foolish to let timing stand in the way. Believe me, you may have seen Cyrano before, but you've never seen it like this.
