David Cromer’s acclaimed production of Our Town (http://www.barrowstreettheatre.com/whats-on/town.asp), which originated at Hypocrites (http://www.the-hypocrites.com/) last fall, has been extended Off-Broadway at the Barrow Street Theatre until January 31. However, Cromer, who also plays the role of the stage manager, will only be in the production until August 16, and then he has to go onto his bigger Broadway obligations - directing Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound and Brighton Beach Memoirs. His replacement has not been announced.
The original cast of Tracy Letts’ Superior Donuts, which premiered at the Steppenwolf (http://www.steppenwolf.org) last summer, will keep the same cast for its Broadway run, opening in October at the Music Box Theatre (http://www.shubertorganization.com/theatres/music_box.asp). The cast includes Michael McKean, known for his roles in Christopher Guest mockumentaries, as the donut shop owner, and ensemble member Jon Michael Hill as his only employee. We’re happy about the cast, but from what we’ve heard (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/30/theater/reviews/30donu.html), the script should definitely not remain the same. Good luck editing Mr. Letts.
