Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) is pleased to announce the full cast for The Dream of the Burning Boy, a new play by David West Read directed by Evan Cabnet.

Ars Nova (Jason Eagan, Artistic Director; Jeremy Blocker, Managing Director) is now accepting applications for Play Group, a vibrant and eclectic group of emerging writers who gather twice a month at Ars Nova to share new work and get peer feedback.

The fall season finally kicked off this past week with a pair of period ensemble pieces from Britain, both imported by New York's two big nonprofit companies, and both receiving solid B+ grades from StageGrade: Brief Encounter at the Roundabout's Studio 54 and The Pitmen Painters at the Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. Neither got quite the smash-hit reviews that might have been expected--the Kneehigh's extravagant adaptation of Brief Encounter got raves (and a StageGrade A) when it ran last year at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, but there were a few more dissenting voices on its Broadway transfer. And Lee Hall's miners-as-artists drama, The Pitmen Painters, was not as unanimously adored as its London notices might have promised.

NOW CIRCA THEN follows the story of two historical re-enactors, history buff and New York native Gideon and the thoroughly modern Margie, a new-comer to the city, who work together at the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The two play Julian and Josephine Glockner, a pulled-from-the-records, real-life immigrant couple from Prussia. The tenement is their home in the New World - at the top of the play, they have just arrived and the real-life and seemingly opposite Gideon and Margie, have just met.
