Profile for AC126748

Sullivan has had an extraordinary career, both as a director and educator (he was for many years a professor at University of Illinois). And he was still directing well as recently as last summer with THE WINTER'S TALE in the Park. His retirement at age 86 is well earned.

I haven't seen the current production, but I saw DOWNSTATE twice at Playwrights and still think about it regularly. As a survivor, I felt the play took a nuanced view of the ways in which pedophiles rationalize their behavior, whether convincing themselves it was an act of love (in Dee's case), a flaw instilled in them by God (in Fred's case), or pure avoidance that they did anything wrong (in Gio's case). I didn't think presenting these perspectives was tantamount to endorsing them, and the ...

An extraordinary career that spanned eight decades. I'm glad I got to see her in two amazing performances relatively late: I Remember Mama and Significant Other.

I'd imagine both Moore and MTC entered into this arrangement knowing full well that it would intersect with awards season, in a year when Moore is heavily favored to be nominated (and possibly win) for an Oscar, and they've worked out how to handle it.

Having heard TR sing in Parade, it's probably for the best that he avoids musicals.

Skerritt lived primarily in Seattle and did a fair amount of theater there over the years, including Our Town at the Intiman under Bart Sher's direction.He was announced for the Broadway production of Straight White Men in 2018, but he withdrew on the eve of previews for health reasons.

I hadn't known about the potential Aunt Dan and Lemon revival before reading this thread, but it definitely seems to be in the works. I was chatting with a friend over the weekend who runs a small regional theater. She said she'd inquired about the rights to the play and was told they're on hold in advance of a major revival.

The reviews across the board are pretty mixed and skewing negative. I wouldn't be surprised if this closed early.

RHINOCEROS is official now. Maslany and Turturro are continuing, with Tony Shalhoub replacing Giamatti. THE FULL MONTY is officially postponed “due to casting availability.” https://www.theatermania.com/news/john-turturro-tony-shalhoub-and-tatiana-maslany-to-star-on-broadway-in-rhinocero_1857244/

I caught the matinee yesterday. I'd previously seen a regional production where I came away liking the play but feeling it hadn't been well served. I'm so happy this revival fires on all cylinders. Whitney White's direction is impeccable, and Qween Jean should clear another spot on her mantle for her next Tony. Cody Spencer's sound design is superb and is a lesson in how to amplify a play without making the speech sound distorted. What a cast! Onyi Aba was on for Nana and was excellent. Denée...

I hadn't heard anything about an Aunt Dan and Lemon revival. Are there stars/creatives rumored to be attached?

RippedMan said: "Honestly this is the route I'm trying to, ha. Small, easy to digest, easy to produce. Smart."Well, she's also a brilliant self-promoter. Loves to paint people who criticize her plays as elitists and often suggests her critics are misogynists. Hell, she was even able to downplay the fact that she and her (now-estranged) husband were mentioned in the Epstein files!

Eva Marie Saint did a fair amount of regional theater, often directed by her husband, Jeffrey Hayden. For example, she was Linda Loman opposite Judd Hirsch in DEATH OF A SALESMAN at Playmakers Rep in North Carolina, in the early 1990s.I believe her last New York stage credit was a Roundabout revival of DUET FOR ONE in the mid-80s.

Zane Phillips did lots of regional musical theater prior to the pandemic. He sounds fine to me. His voice doesn't blow me away, but it's solid. And it's hard to judge a full performance based on a one-minute clip out of context.

No disrespect to Marin Ireland, but Carla Gugino is just such a better fit for Beatrice. If I wasn't excited already, the full cast announcement would do it.
