Emily Bridges News

Emmy Award winner Beau Bridges and New York Giants Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. will guest star in the CBS medical drama CODE BLACK on Wednesday, Feb. 10.

This week, we go around our Broadway World to feature stories in Connecticut, Maine, Sydney and more. Check out our top 10 stories around our Broadway World below, which include BEDROOM FARCE at Westport, MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET at Ogunquit, and THE ALIENS in Sydney, just to name a few.

With their sixth production in the three-year life of the company, Dark & Stormy once again delivers a short, intense, well-acted and directed play in an unconventional space. But EXTREMITIES has none of the dark humor that could be found in some of their past shows. It's all violence and drama and complex moral questions. This 1982 Broadway play turned 1986 movie starring Farrah Fawcett explores the weighty themes of sexual violence, power, and justice. There's no clear winner in this story, no obvious right and wrong, just a lot of grey area, where most of us live. Each of these four characters, beautifully portrayed by this excellent cast, is at times sympathetic and at times infuriating in their words and choices. More than 30 years after it was written, EXTREMITIES is as relevant and topical as ever.

Dark & Stormy Productions today announces the producers, venue, and partners for its upcoming production of Extremities by William Mastrosimone. Previously, Dark & Stormy has presented Outside Providence by Edward Allan Baker, Speed-the-Plow by David Mamet, The Receptionist by Adam Bock, The Drunken City by Adam Bock, and The Hothouse by Harold Pinter. Extremities will be the first production of Dark & Stormy's 2015 season.

Beau Bridges and his daughter Emily will be doing an in-store appearance at Samuel French in Studio City on Saturday, May 7th for their published play 'Acting: The First Six Lessons.' The play is an adaptation of Richard Boleslavsky's 1933 novel which tells the story of an acting teacher who teaches a young girl the craft of acting along with important life lessons. In Beau and Emily's adaption, the play spans 10 scenes progressing from the teacher's studio, to stage, to filming in Central park, leading to the pinnacle climax at the Empire State building.

The old showbiz adage about always leavin' 'em wanting more isn't always the best advice, as exemplified Adam Bock's fascinating, understated and, in the end, frustratingly incomplete, A Small Fire.  In his usual fashion, especially when teamed up, as he is here, with director Tripp Cullman, Bock takes us on an engrossing journey just beyond the outer edges of reality.  There is some extraordinary scene work, both in his writing and in the collaborative efforts of the director and his two superlative leads, Michele Pawk and Reed Birney.  But while the 80-minute production satisfies in so many ways, the text also leaves out too many delicious details.

DRACULA by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston, based on the novel by Bram Stoker, played its final performance on Sunday, January 9 at the Little Shubert Theatre (422 West 42nd Street).

It looks like off-Broadway's DRACULA, playing at the Little Shubert might have a shorter run than originally announced. The show, which just opened on January 5, was originally scheduled to close on March 13. Now, after speculation in the NY Post this morning about an early end for the revival, Telecharge.com is only offering tickets for the show through January 9.
