@RuthiesATrain @broadwaynews Amazing news!

Cat’s out of the bag! Thrilled to officially announce my new position as executive editor of @broadwaynews — a company I’ve admired since its inception with phenomenal colleagues to boot! broadwaynews.com/2022/11/22/bro…

@kellylinhayes 👀 Yes, please.

Just learning from Adam about the passing of Michael Feingold, who I have known since my press agent days when he was the highly influential and intellectual critic at the Village Voice. Sad to hear this, as I learned a lot from Michael, in print and in person.

Congrats to Playing on Air MVPs David Lindsay-Abaire and Steven Boyer, who celebrated @AkimboMusical's epic opening night at B'way's Booth Theatre last week. The new musical is based on Lindsay-Abaire's acclaimed play of the same name, and the reviews have been ✨✨✨✨!

Ready for more fictional royals? Catch Alfredo Narciso (POA's WEST OF STUPID, THE BLIZZARD, MERE MORTALS, and more) and Matthew Rauch (POA's REAL AMERICAN DINNER PARTY) in @redbulltheater's THE DUCHESS OF MALFI stream on demand through Sunday, 11/20. redbulltheater.com/malfi2022

🥳Fans of the underrated 2018 indie film HEARTS BEAT LOUD, rejoice! @mcctheater will produce a four-week development of a new musical based on the film in 2023--with a little help from POA alums Whitney White (G.O.A.T.) and Ngozi Anyanwu (G.O.A.T.). playingonair.org/new-releases/g…

🎙️In this week's episode of @SelectedShorts, two works about change feature 3 incredibly talented POA alums. @ArianMoayed (THE MAN IN RED) performs "Muzaffer Bananas," and Jane Kaczmarek (NAPOLEON IN EXILE) and Tony Shalhoub (THE CLAM) team up in "Goodbye to the Road Not Taken."

It's been an incredible decade! Join us on Sunday, December 4th for a delectable brunch at 54 Below to benefit the *next* 10 years of Playing on Air! playingonair.org/10th-anniversa…

🥳Congrats to Playing on Air alum Cori Thomas (WAKING UP), who is one of five talented playwrights to receive the New York Community Trust's prestigious 2022 Helen Merrill Award for Playwriting.

We heard two familiar voices as we caught up with the latest eps from our friends at @SelectedShorts! Rita Wolf (JACOB AND AMAL) copes with loss and technology and Dana Ivey (CAMBERWELL HOUSE, EVENING AT ANAHEIM)'s cranky spinster gets a moment of grace. symphonyspace.org/selected-short…
