The Tony Awards are now less than a month away, and I've really been enjoying revisiting memories, cast albums, and even shows themselves since the nominations were announced! A few days ago I posted my thoughts on the Best Score, Book, Musicals and Plays. Today, here are my feelings in the acting categories.

According to Deadline, he will next join Michael Gambon, Alfred Molina, Kelly Reilly, and Tracy Letts in Ira Sachs' LOVE IS STRANGE.

Before rehearsals began, actor Christopher Denham spoke with Education Dramaturg Ted Sod about his role of James in The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin.

Deadline reports that Tony Award nominee Tracy Letts has been made a series regular on Showtime's popular drama series HOMELAND. The Pulitzer Prize-winning actor and playwright was originally cast in a recurring role for the show's third season.

Director Jonathan Berry will team up with actor Caroline Neff in Steep Theatre's upcoming U.S. Premiere of John Donnelly's The Knowledge. The two long-time Steep associates quickly have become two of Chicago theater's brightest stars. Mr. Berry, 2012 Jeff Award winner for Best Director, and Ms. Neff, 2011 Jeff Award winner for Best Actress in a Featured Role, have been delighting audiences at Steep for the better part of the last decade; however, The Knowledge will mark the first time that the two have collaborated on a Steep production. The Knowledge opens on Thursday, April 18th, at Steep Theatre.

UPDATE: Executive Director of the American Theatre Wing, Heather Hitchens, and Executive Director of The Broadway League, Charlotte St. Martin, released the following statement on the results of the meeting: 'The Tony Awards Administration Committee met, considered the infraction and have issued a serious warning to the producers of 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' The infraction which involved using abbreviated quotes from the critical reviews, were consistent with the overall intent of those reviews, and therefore the committee determined that no further action would be taken on this issue.'

Today, Showtime announced a number of guest stars that will appear in a variety of roles in the upcoming third season of its Emmy and Golden Globe-winning drama series HOMELAND. The series returns for a third season on Sunday, September 29th at 9 p.m. ET/PT, followed by the series premiere of MASTERS OF SEX.
