This just in: Callaway out, Ebersole in at Emelin

September
25

I met with Michael Bush, the new artistic director at the Emelin, today.

We talked about the season, about his hopes for his new home — including a major capital campaign to turn the 9,000-sq.-foot facility into a 36,000-sq.-foot facility.

I’ll have a big story on it next week, but the news is this: With Ann Hampton Callaway performing at Purchase this week, Bush and Callaway’s people got together and decided to push her Emelin appearance from April or May of 2008 to September 2008, to coincide with the new Telarc album she’ll record in December.

How do you replace Ann Hampton Callaway?

With Tony-winner Christine Ebersole, fresh from “Grey Gardens”! She’ll be at the Emelin on April 12, Bush says.

Keep checking here for details on when tickets will go on sale. They’re sure to sell out in a heartbeat.

If it involves theater in any way -- from grade-schoolers learning Shakespeare to high school musicals to Broadway veterans getting into character -- this is the place to talk about it. We'll have audition notices, casting notices, mini-reviews and plenty of ideas to fill a theater junkie's to-do list.
