Joh C. McGinley and Richard Schiff are also going to be in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Also, Alec Baldwin mentioned on one of his recent podcasts, or perhaps his Fresh Air interview, that he was going to be doing a play in New York in the spring, but couldn't say any more about it. Anyone know what that is?

Ed Asner - GRACE
Richard Thomas - AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
Laurie Metcalf - THE OTHER PLACE
Edie Falco - THE MADRID
Judith Light - ASSEMBLED PARTIES
Bebe Neuwirth - GOLDEN AGE
Amy Ryan, David Schwimmer - DETROIT

The Goodman's SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH with Diane Lane has a good chance of coming in.

No doubt PICNIC is doing some celebrity searching.

Cheyenne Jackson is a celebrity?


"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
