According to Baz Bamingboye in his Daily Mail UK column, the Weinstein Company is planning a four-week workshop of the new musical, Finding Neverland, this fall in New York. The workshop, directed and choreographed by Rob Ashford is said to star Julian Ovenden as J.M. Barrie and Kelli O'Hara as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. Bamingboye writes that 'if it works - and Ovenden and O'Hara are available - the Weinsteins will launch a big production for Broadway.'

Out Front on Main, Inc. presents a showcase of challenging and thought provoking one act plays opening Thursday, May 19. Edward Albee's The Zoo Story, directed by Ryan Daniel, and Therac 25, directed by Buddy Jones, will run through June 5, with performances Thursdays-Sundays at 7:30 p.m.
