Jeremy Shamos News

Off-Broadway's The Play Company presents a special benefit event featuring prime seating for Broadway's GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street) at 8pm and a pre-show cocktail reception, beginning at 6:15pm, at Angus's Cafe Bistro (258 West 44th Street).

Manhattan Theatre Club has just announced additional casting for the world premiere of THE ASSEMBLED PARTIES, the new play by Tony Award winner Richard Greenberg, directed by MTC's award-winning Artistic Director Lynne Meadow. Previously announced Tony nominee Jessica Hecht and Tony and Emmy Award winner Judith Light will be joined by Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos, Obie Award winner Mark Blum, and Tony Award nominee Sam Robards.

GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS begins its limited run with previews on Friday, October 19, 2012, and an official opening set for Sunday, November 11, 2012, at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street).

Berlin's Deutsches Theater was to present CLYBOURNE PARK, the Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning play, earlier this year - with a white actress in 'experimental makeup' playing the black characters Francine and Lena. Today, Village Voice columnist Michael Musto writes that the production was cancelled after playwright Bruce Norris revoked the rights; in a published letter to the Dramatists Guild, Norris explains his reasoning and condemns the tradition of blackface in German theatres:

SNL's Cast Member Taran Killam and two-time Tony nominated Jeremy Shamos join David Wain, Joe Lo Truglio and others for one-night-only reprise of SEX (a.k.a WEINERS AND BOOBS) by David Wain, Michael Showalter and Joe Lo Truglio on Monday, October 29th at 7:30pm at the 13TH Street Theater (CSC, 136 E. 13th St, NYC). The evening will also feature members of the original cast and special guests Shari Albert, Ian Helfer, Nina Hellman, Zak Orth, Peter Salett and more.

Producers of the revival of GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS announced today that the production will offer a standing room ticket policy. Limited standing room tickets will be available for purchase only at the box office of the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street) on a same-day, rush basis and will be priced at $37 each, with a limit of two per person. This policy will go into effect on Tuesday, November 13, 2012. The box office opens at 10 am Monday through Saturday, and at 12 pm on Sundays.

In 2003, concerned that the trend of endless readings and development programs was limiting the texture and ambition of new American plays, 13 midcareer playwrights banded together to try a different model. Each playwright would serve as Artistic Director of the company-deciding the goals of the project, designing its process, and choosing collaborators-as it realized a full production of his/her play. The organization, 13P, completed its mission with Sara Ruhl's (P#13) sold-out Melancholy Play in July.

Tony Award winning producers Scott and Brian Zeilinger have officially announced that Human, a new play by Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale), will premiere on Broadway in the 2013-14 Season. Directed by Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks (The House of Blue Leaves, Guys and Dolls), Human will have a New York reading on Friday, September 7th with a cast that features Chazz Palminteri, Evan Jonigkeit, Sophie Monk (Date Movie), Tony Award nominee Jeremy Shamos (Clybourne Park), and Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite).

Clybourne Park, the 2012 Tony Award-winning 'Best Play', ends its Broadway run-extended twice already-today, September 2nd, at the Walter Kerr Theatre. Also the winner of the 2011 Pulitzer Prize and Olivier Award, Clybourne Park is the wickedly funny and fiercely provocative new play about race, real estate and the volatile values of each. By its final performance today, the play will have played 27 previews and 157 regular performances.

Actor and playwright Chazz Palminteri's HUMAN is headed for Broadway - and has reportedly already set a handful of stars and a fall opening night.

Fran Drescher made a surprise appearance at CLYBOURNE PARK tonight, August 15, and took a moment to pose with the cast backstage after the show. Check out the photo below!
