The Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University (ATRU) and the Sara Lee Foundation proudly present the world-renowned Nederlands Dans Theater I (NDT), which brings ATRU's 2008 - 2009 International Dance Series to a thrilling conclusion with performances June 16 and 17. Tickets are now on sale.

American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) announces the final show of its 2008-09 season: Edward Albee's At Home at the Zoo, staged by acclaimed director Rebecca Bayla Taichman (world premieres of Theresa Rebeck's The Scene and Mauritius and Sarah Ruhl's Dead Man's Cell Phone). This new spellbinder by the master playwright who also penned Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A.C.T.'s The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?, is a meticulously calibrated and dangerously brutal look at relationships intimate and unexpected. The story opens with Peter, a tweedy book editor, and his wife, Ann, whose everyday conversation takes an unexpected turn into dangerously personal territory. It's the kind of conversation that can drive a husband out for a walk-to Central Park, where Jerry, a desperate outcast, awaits. An unforgettable pairing of Albee's original The Zoo Story with a freshly penned prequel, At Home at the Zoo (formerly titled Peter and Jerry) bares its teeth to threaten the delicately balanced world its characters inhabit. Artistic Director Carey Perloff has put together an all-star artistic team on this production, featuring Tony Award-nominated actor Manoel Felciano (Ragtime at The Kennedy Center, A.C.T.'s Rock 'n' Roll, and Sweeney Todd on Broadway) as Jerry and scenic designer Robert Brill, who received a Tony Award nomination last week for his work on Guys and Dolls on Broadway. Hailed by critics as 'a thoroughly satisfying package of jagged-edged provocation' (Newsday) and 'an essential and heartening experience' (The New York Times), Edward Albee's At Home at the Zoo plays at A.C.T. June 5-July 5, 2009. Opening night is Wednesday, June 10, 2009, at 8 p.m. Tickets-starting at $14-are available by calling A.C.T. Ticket Services at 415.749.2228, or at www.act-sf.org.

Award winning comedian Judy Gold hates one-person shows, that's why she's doing her second one: 'Judy Gold is Mommy Queerest!' The star of the critically acclaimed, '25 Questions for a Jewish Mother' has a lot to say about being the mother of 2 boys and an out lesbian comic. There is no stone unturned - her mother, anti-depressants, nursing homes, parenting, gay marriage,, and of course what she truly thinks about her kids - they are annoying, expensive, and they better pluck out her chin hairs when she's in the Hebrew Home for the Aged. Gay or straight, black or white, Jew or non-denominational neurotic, Judy will make you laugh your ass off - and with America's high rate of obesity that's a good thing. 3/20 at 8:00 PM $18
