(6/22/2010) - As has been widely reported, Artist David Ilan has been in the process of creating a Michael Jackson tribute painting using the pointillism style in which the paiting is comprised of dots. For the tribute, each dot represents a different influential person. At a special recognition ceremony yesterday, June 21, Ilan added a 'dot' in honor of Dr. Maya Angelou at Angelou's home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. David Ilan is attempting to get a million people, each being represented by a dot, to make up the Michael Jackson tribute portrait. Maya Angelou also read her Michael Jackson tribute poem, 'We Had Him,' at the event. BroadwayWorld brings coverage of the event below.

(2/5/2009) - Deep Dish Theater Company's eighth season continues with Uncle Vanya, Anton Checkhov's classic tale of love, loss and inconvenient truths. It will be directed by Deep Dish Artistic Director Paul Frellick and will run from February 19 to March 14 at the company's home in Chapel Hill's University Mall. The play takes place in the waning days of 19th Century Russia, as the celebrated professor Serebryakov (Tom Marriott) returns to his rural estate with his young wife Yelena (Anne-Caitlin Donohue). Their arrival throws the household into upheaval, disrupting the quiet lives of the professor's daughter Sonya (Page Purgar), her uncle Vanya (Mark Filiaci), the local country doctor Astrov (David Berberian) and the estate's other occupants. Like all of Chekhov's plays, Uncle Vanya paints a portrait of a discontented aristocracy watching their traditions slip away, yet seeing no clear future.

This Tony-nominated Broadway sensation comes from the original voice of Lisa Kron, whose OBIE-winning 2.5 Minute Ride was a sold-out hit in last season's PRC2 series.
