Michael Park in "Middletown"
Shortly after finishing up The Last Goodbye: A Musical Adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, Michael (Jack, ATWT) has been cast in the new play Middletown by Will Eno. Previews begin on October 13 at the off-Broadway Vineyard Theatre. More information and tickets are available at the theatre's website, which describes the show as:
From Pulitzer Prize-finalist Will Eno (THOM PAIN (based on nothing)), comes a deeply moving and funny new play, exploring the universe of a small American town. As a friendship develops between longtime resident John Dodge (Linus Roache) and new arrival Mary Swanson (Heather Burns), the lives of the inhabitants of Middletown intersect in strange and compelling ways. A powerful and poignant meditation on birth, death and points between, MIDDLETOWN is a remarkable new play from one of our finest young theatrical voices featuring Linus Roache (“RFK” “Law & Order”) and Heather Burns (“Miss Congeniality”, MARRIAGE OF BETTE AND BOO).

Emily O'Brien in "The Bedroom Window"
Emily O'Brien, The Young and the Restless' Jana, is currently appearing in the new musical The Bedroom Window at the Odyssey Theater in Los Angeles. The show runs through September 26, with a special Y&R night on September 3 that offers the opportunity to meet Emily and other Y&R cast members. Emily plays the role of Gwen, described as:
Gwen, a young writer who is fresh out of graduate school, is poised and ready to start the next phase of her life that has been more or less scripted by her well-to-do family. She moves in with George, her longtime boyfriend and rising star in her father's company, just as has been intended for quite some time. As she returns to her old home, she is also reconnected with her old life, and the people in it – namely her brother, Johnny, and her best friend, Michael. Though they all want things to be like they were before she left two years before, they simply are not. Each has changed, some more than others, some in ways not welcomed, and they all struggle with the discrepancy between expectations, yearnings, and reality. In the midst of this less than ideal transition back into her old life, Gwen's world is turned on its head when she meets Porter, a carefree painter whose life philosophy is a stark contrast to the life on which she is about to embark – and as their romance blossoms she begins to nurture the true side of her that she was about to stifle with caviar and pearls.
The Bedroom Window is a new musical that explores the sacrifices, necessities and choices involved in change and growth - in short, growing up.

Maura West on "The Young and the Restless"
OK this technically isn't "on stage," but all you As the World Turns fans will be happy to know that the first post-ATWT casting for one of our favorite Oakdalians has been announced. TV Guide is reporting that Maura West has been (re)cast as Diane Jenkins on The Young and the Restless. She will begin airing on October 8 as Victor's ex and the mother of Jack's son Kyle. I can't wait to see Maura mix it up with the citizens of Genoa City and make this character her own!
