The Adobe Theater to Stage Neil Simon's LOST IN YONKERS, Beg. 6/28

Yonkers, NY is city just north of the Bronx, where playwright Neil Simon was born on the 4th of July, 85 years ago. He has chronicled family life in the Great Depression and after in a series of prize-winning plays, musicals and films. His frequent theme shows 'likeable people in difficult situations.'

Squeaky Bicycle's ALLIGATOR SUMMER to Play Abingdon, 6/20-7/7

'Alligator Summer' by Dylan Lamb is an audacious farce in which two southern families have taken refuge in an attic, Anne Frank style, after an endless army of alligators have overrun their town.

Brandi Varnell directs. (more...)

60 MINUTES to Feature Michael Jackson's Estate this Sunday

Lara Logan reports on this unprecedented turnaround and gets a private tour of some of the personal items that meant the most to the late star for a 60 MINUTES story to be broadcast Sunday, May 19 (7:00-8:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
