“Love Is a Verb”: Tony-Nominated Mary Jane at Seattle Rep. This spring, a New York Times Critic’s Pick and Tony Award–nominated play by Amy Herzog comes to Seattle Rep! Mary Jane is a deeply human drama, hailed as “the most profound…of Herzog’s fine plays,” and celebrated for its “upbeat charm… beautifully detailed… brutally honest” storytelling (The New York Times). 

Dobama Theatre in Cleveland Heights will present a diverse lineup of new plays for its 2026/27 season, featuring regional and world premieres at the Donald A. Bianchi Theatre.

Adapted from Nicholas Sparks' ubiquitous 1996 novel (and its popular 2004 film iteration featuring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling), THE NOTEBOOK - THE MUSICAL re-stages a generational love story into a quietly sweeping, memory-fractured stage romance that subtly promotes emotional accumulation over plot novelty. Now on stage at OC's Segerstrom Center for the Arts, this 2024 three-time Tony-nominated Broadway musical's first national tour continues performances in Costa Mesa through February 8, 2026.

Between Ingrid Michelson’s heart-swelling score, a safe and steady book by Bekah Brunstetter and the co-direction of Michael Greif and Schele Williams, this entertaining but hardly remarkable tale kicks off the 2026 season at the Hollywood Pantages on an appropriately tear-streaked note.

Five-time Tony nominee Brian D’Arcy James joined TODAY to discuss some of his current and past projects, including originating King George in Hamilton off-Broadway. Watch the full interview, where he also speaks about starring in the Peacock spy thriller series The Copenhagen Test and his Christmas song, 'Michigan Christmas.'

Grab your tissues and your loved ones, because The Notebook is well into its first national tour. The three-time 2024 Tony Award nominee is making its way around the U.S., bringing a slice of sadness, joy, and everything in between to theater lovers everywhere.

If you are a fan of Nicholas Sparks's novel The Notebook or the 2004 film of the same title (starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, you do not want to miss this production. It is a beautiful love story of endurance and hope even amidst the constant trials.
