Variety reports that Jessica Chastain is currently in negotiations to star in J.C. Chandor's upcoming film A MOST VIOLENT YEAR.

The Hilliard Arts Council (HAC) jumped at the chance to be the first community theater group in Central Ohio to present the fully staged, professional version of "Les Miserables", opening at Hilliard Darby High School on Friday, July 12th for an astoundingly short 3 performance run. While several area high schools have attempted smaller scale versions, particularly following the movie release which opened the story of "Les Miserable" to an even larger audience, to attempt to pull this show off takes guts. It's an incredibly ambitious production in its set, orchestral music, and vocal demands, and even the likes of Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman have taken criticism for their performances being less than its expected Broadway icon caliber. Given that, it turns out that Jackman and Crowe could have taken a few notes from the folks over in good ol' Hilliard, Ohio, as the pipes on this cast are surprisingly wonderful.

The Hilliard Arts Council will present Les Miserables for its annual summer musical today, July 12 and the 13th at 8pm and July 14 at 3pm at Hilliard Darby High School located at 4200 Leppert Rd. Although the student version of Les Mis has been performed at many area high schools, the Hilliard Arts Council is the first community theater in central Ohio to present the professional version fully staged.
