Audra McDonald, Megan Hilty, Bianca Del Rio, Cheyenne Jackson, Marilyn Maye, Melissa Errico, Alyssa Edwards, and more are set to take park in the latest star-studded music and comedy season for the summer of 2026 at Provincetown’s Town Hall.

Folger Theatre at the Folger Shakespeare Library revealed the plays and playwrights for the fourth annual Reading Room Festival, a four-day festival of staged readings, panel discussions, workshops, and community celebrations.

This time, the reader question was: Who Are the Most Tony-Nominated People of All Time? Audra McDonald now holds the record for the most-nominated performer, but do you know who has the most ever?

When you can hear a room audibly smile, then you know you are in the presence of Glenn Rosenblum. He’s charming, clever, witty, playfully spills the Tea, shows off his encyclopedic knowledge regarding all things Broadway, and displays his utmost respect for this genre of entertainment. 

Observations In Time appeared in January 1969, containing a number of Ohio Players originals including “Here Today And Gone Tomorrow,” which David Bowie would make part of his Diamond Dogs tour and release it on 1974's David Live. Covers include Allen Toussaint's “Mother-In-Law,” the band's take on “Over The Rainbow.'

Nevin Steinberg, the award-winning sound designer for such Broadway shows as Hamilton (2015), Sweeney Todd (2023), and Hadestown (2019), will become the President of the Board of Trustees of Town Hall.
