Vincent D’Onofrio May Get “Down and Dirty”

Several entertainment sources report that Vincent D’Onofrio (Law & Order Criminal Intent) is being “lined up” to play Harvey Weinstein in the film “Down and Dirty Pictures,” an adaptation of Peter Biskind’s “Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film.” As the articles indicate that Vincent is being “lined up.” I don’t think it is a done deal as yet. But the physical resemblance between the two people sure appears to be a great fit for Vincent. I hope that confirmation that the role is his comes soon. As more details become available, I will pass them along.

DIRECTED BY PAM MacKINNON

Emmy Award nominee ANNIE PARISSE, JEREMY SHAMOS,
CRYSTAL A. DICKINSON, BRENDAN GRIFFIN,

Single tickets on sale Wednesday, December 30
Previews begin Friday, January 29
Opening Night set for Sunday, February 21


Playwrights Horizons (Tim Sanford, Artistic Director; Leslie Marcus, Managing Director) has announced complete casting for the World Premiere of CLYBOURNE PARK, a new play by Bruce Norris (The Pain and the Itch at Playwrights Horizons/PH 2006-2007 Season).

Directed by Pam MacKinnon (Peter and Jerry, The Four of Us, Occupant), the production will begin previews Friday, January 29, with an Opening Night set for Sunday, February 21 at 7PM at the theater company’s Mainstage Theater (416 West 42nd Street). The limited engagement is currently scheduled to run through Sunday, March 7.

The cast will feature Tony Award winner Frank Wood (Side Man and August: Osage County on Broadway, The Wax at PH), Emmy Award nominee Annie Parisse (The Credeaux Canvas at PH, Becky Shaw at Second Stage, Prelude to a Kiss on Broadway, Assistant DA Alexandra Borgia on “Law & Order,” Julia Lindsey Snyder on “As the World Turns”), Jeremy Shamos (100 Saints You Should Know and Miss Witherspoon at PH, Reckless and The Rivals on Broadway, Gutenberg!

Dickinson (Ruined, Broke-ology), Brendan Griffin (world premiere of Itamar Moses’s Back Back Back at The Old Globe), Damon Gupton (Inked Baby at PH) and Christina Kirk (God’s Ear at The Vineyard, Suitcase and [sic] at Soho Rep).

CLYBOURNE PARK will be Mr. Norris’ first play to have its World Premiere in New York. While Playwrights Horizons presented his first New York premiere with The Pain and the Itch in 2006, his previous five plays all had their World Premieres at Steppenwolf Theatre.

In 1959, a white family moves out. In 2009, a white family moves in. In the intervening years, change overtakes a neighborhood, along with attitudes, inhabitants and property values. Loosely inspired by Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun, this pitch-black comedy from Bruce Norris takes on the specter


of gentrification in one of America’s most recognizable communities – leaving no stone unturned in the process. The production will feature scenic design by Dan Ostling, costume design by Ilona Somogyi, lighting design by Allen Lee Hughes and sound design by John Gromada. Production Stage Manager is Carol A. Clark.

Playwrights Horizons’ production of CLYBOURNE PARK has received generous support from the Eleanor Naylor Dana Charitable Trust. Special thanks to the Tobin Theatre Arts Fund for supporting the set and costume designer fees for this production.

Michael Moriarty Jumps Into Law & Order Political Controversy

Michael Moriarty - who fans of Law & Order will remember as Ben Stone, the first EADA for Law & Order - has long been very outspoken for the right, his political rants legendary (not in a good way). He’s decided to jump into the controversy stirred up with the recent episode of Law & Order SVU "Anchor" and other episodes of Law & Order. You can read Moriarty’s editorial at this link: Michael Moriarty “The Increasingly Left Law and Order." He seems to blame Law & Order executive producer Rene Balcer for almost everything. I guess he isn't aware that Neal Baer is executive producer of SVU, who is really the one responsible for "Anchor," an episode that even left-wingers thought went a little overboard.
