Are there Playbills today, by any chance?

I did some sleuthing (searching on Twitter) and discovered that not only were there Playbills but there were also cups! I will definitely be trying to track both down!

I had no idea what Broadway theater the "Jones" was, so I had to physically put the address in Google and up turned the Cort theater. Then I googled some more and realized they dropped the name Cort??? Such a long list of accomplishments of Mr. Cort including building the Grand Opera House in Seattle. Sad. Anyone who wants to donate to build a theater should remember this, as they can just as easily be erased.

His name is literally etched in stone on the front of the theater. It hasn't been erased.
Beautiful and much needed!
Can say how disappointed I am that more coverage outside of this thread hasn't been made. Maybe it's too early for something? But neither Playbill, or BWW has anything.
Bryce Pinkham and Lizan Mitchell will join Audra McDonald in the Broadway premiere of Adrienne Kennedy's Ohio State Murders at the James Earl Jones Theatre (formerly the Cort).
Directed by Kenny Leon, the play will begin previews November 11 and open on December 8. Complete casting is still to be announced.
The production will have set design by Beowulf Boritt, lighting design by Allen Lee Hughes, costume design by Dede Ayite, sound design by Justin Ellington, and projection design by Jeff Sugg.

Intriguing. i've always enjoyed Bryce Pinkham, didn't realize there were more people in the cast. I'm looking forward to this (and the new theater).

Local NBC news covered it. I like them, they always include theate news in their broadcasts.
When buying LCT member tickets, is there a way to actually choose a seat? I'm only seeing this awful insiteticketing.com interface that auto-selects a single seat in an awful location (despite plenty of better availability on Telecharge).

You can pick usually but it does tend to be awful side seats given the price.
the only shows I’ve seen at The Jones have been awful with the extreme side seats.
