Joh C. McGinley and Richard Schiff are also going to be in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Also, Alec Baldwin mentioned on one of his recent podcasts, or perhaps his Fresh Air interview, that he was going to be doing a play in New York in the spring, but couldn't say any more about it. Anyone know what that is?

Cheyenne Jackson is a celebrity?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
