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?

Ed Asner - GRACE
Richard Thomas - AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
Laurie Metcalf - THE OTHER PLACE
Edie Falco - THE MADRID
Judith Light - ASSEMBLED PARTIES
Bebe Neuwirth - GOLDEN AGE
Amy Ryan, David Schwimmer - DETROIT

The Goodman's SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH with Diane Lane has a good chance of coming in.

No doubt PICNIC is doing some celebrity searching.
