AMC Networks Entertainment Group today announced that it is moving the season three premiere of Killing Eve up by two weeks, to next Sunday, April 12 at 9/8c. As was previously announced, all eight new episodes will be simulcast on BBC AMERICA and AMC.

Corrib Theatre cancels the Northwest Premiere of Kissing the Witch, directed by Lava Alapai, and written by Emma Donoghue, an award-winner Irish writer. With a four-person ensemble cast taking on multiple roles throughout, Kissing the Witch upends five classical fairytales and flips them funny into the land of feminism. Kissing the Witch was slated to run beginning April 3 for three weeks through April 26, at New Expressive Works, 810 SE Belmont St., in Portland, Oregon.

Born out of the celebrations for the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death in 2016, Ben Elton's sit-com Upstart Crow went on to have three series and multiple Christmas specials. It follows William Shakespeare, who's by now rather well-known in London, as he attempts to write his notorious body of work pinching ideas here and there and taking credit for quotes that aren't his, scribbling away whenever his nearest and dearest say something clever for future use.

On the heels of renewing Killing Eve for a fourth season, BBC AMERICA has announced that the award-winning drama will return for its third on Sunday, April 26th at 10pm ET/PT, and released several first-look photos that point to a wild season. Airing once again on both BBC AMERICA and AMC, season three stars Golden Globe®, SAG® and Critics' Choice Award winner Sandra Oh, Emmy® and BAFTA winner Jodie Comer, Emmy® nominee and BAFTA winner Fiona Shaw and BAFTA nominee Kim Bodnia and is produced for BBC AMERICA by Sid Gentle Films Ltd.

Corrib Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of Gerard Mannix Flynn's James X, directed by Corrib Artistic Director Gemma Whelan. James X exposes this appalling, Ireland-specific story of institutional abuse and neglect that offers shockingly relevant parallels to the current U.S. child welfare, incarceration and immigration systems practices of turning a blind eye to justice for the nation's most powerless people under its care. The limited run dates for James X are February 13 through March 1, at New Expressive Works, 810 SE Belmont St., in Portland, Oregon.
