'God of Carnage' opens next Wednesday, April 13, at 8 p.m. at the Center Theatre Group / Ahmanson Theatre reuniting the original Tony Award-nominated Broadway cast of Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden in the scathingly funny, Tony Award-winning Best Play. The production is currently in previews and will play through May 29 only.

Hope Davis, the actress currently reprising her role in GOD OF CARNAGE at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles, may soon be seen by television audiences in HBO's newest series, 'Spring/Fall'.

THE BOOK OF MORMON opened last night, Thursday, March 24 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre to RAVE reviews. Here's a look at the red carpet arrivals!

Due to overwhelming demand, 'God of Carnage' at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre has been extended for two additional weeks. The production, which features the original Broadway cast of Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden, will now be performed in Los Angeles for eight weeks from April 5 through May 29, 2011.

According to Deadline.com, stage veteran James Gandolfini is on board for HBO Films' 'Eating with the Enemy.' Gandolfini will play 'Egan, owner of a Hackensack rib joint who became involved in back channel negotiations with North Korea to stop producing nuclear weapons' as described by Deadline.

HBO has just released a new trailer for the miniseries 'Mildred Pierce.' The show is set to premiere on March 27 at 9pm. The show features Kate Winslet, Evan Rachel Wood, Hope Davis, Melissa Leo, Brian F. O'Byrne, Mare Winningham, Guy Pearce, James LeGros, and Morgan Turner.

GOD OF CARNAGE is a comedy of manners without the manners. Yasmina Reza's play deals with two sets of parents who meet to resolve a conflict between their two children; what is supposed to be a civilised meeting turns into a barrage of name calling, tantrums and tears. In this hysterical comedy when the gloves come off, dirty laundry is aired and the grownups find themselves in their own playground.

Executive Artistic Director Carson Kievman has announced that SoBe Institute of the Arts (SoBe Arts) will present staged readings of promising new plays, beginning with Acapulco by New York writer Jacquelyn Reingold (HBO's In Treatment, Law and Order, and produced off-Broadway) and featuring L.A.-based Evan Handler ('Sex and the City,' 'Californication,' and films by Ron Howard and Oliver Stone) in addition to local artists.
