BOOMERANG THEATRE COMPANY has announced the world premiere production of Adam Kraar’s THE KARPOVSKY VARIATIONS, directed by Tasha Gordon-Solmon. THE KARPOVSKY VARIATIONS, a play with klezmer music, will play a limited engagement at the Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre at the A.R.T./New York Theatres (502 W 53rd Street, NYC 10019).

The ballet of pride, time, companionship, and aging provides for a quiet but thought provoking production of Pulitzer Prize winner Alfred Uhry's 'Driving Miss Daisy' in Hoboken by Mile Square Theatre.

Mile Square Theatre, Hudson County's leading professional theatre, kicks off its 2018 season with Alfred Uhry's powerful masterpiece Driving Miss Daisy. Set in the South between the late 40's and early 70's, the play explores an unlikely friendship between an elderly white Southern Jewish woman, Daisy Werthan, and her African-American chauffer, Hoke Colburn.

Below, BroadwayWorld brings you a first look at Syracuse Stage's production of OTHER DESERT CITIES.

Are there secrets that should always be kept? In this smart, sharply funny, and sensitive contemporary play, playwright Jon Robin Baitz folds art, politics, and family secrets into a tumultuous drama that pits a liberal middle-aged writer against her conservative parents. Who owns a family's history? There are no easy answers in Other Desert Cities, a 2012 Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, where certainty shifts like sand dunes in the wind.

Very slowly - though without losing his sense of humor - Baitz draws us deeper and deeper into the Wyeths' drama, and the further we go, the more intense it becomes, until you're absolutely certain no one's coming out of the evening alive.

During the month of February, Syracuse Stage will have four productions appearing coast-to-coast. Here locally, In the Next Room, or the vibrator play will complete its run on February 15. Sizwe Banzi is Dead recently completed a run in Princeton, NJ and will start up in Syracuse on February 25. Other Desert Cities will start performing in Portland, OR on February 21 where it will run several weeks before moving to Syracuse Stage in April. Stage's fall production of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson had a second run in Seattle, WA that ended February 8.
