David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Glengarry Glen Ross is set in a cutthroat Chicago real estate office where four salespeople compete to sell mostly worthless properties to unwitting customers. Whoever sells the most wins a car; whoever sells the least is out of a job – a ruthless environment where each character will do anything to come out on top.

16) Operation Mincemeat
In Operation Mincemeat, it’s 1943, and the Allied Forces are on the ropes. Luckily, they’ve got a trick up their sleeve. Well, not up their sleeve, per se, but rather inside the pocket of a stolen corpse. Equal parts farce, thriller, and Ian Fleming-style spy caper (with an assist from Mr. Fleming himself), Operation Mincemeat tells the wildly improbable and hilarious true story of the covert operation that turned the tide of WWII.

Inside a one-room apartment on the outskirts of Seoul, Oliver (Criss) lives a happily quiet life listening to jazz records and caring for his favorite plant. But what else is there to do when you’re a HelperBot 3, a robot that has long been retired and considered obsolete? When his fellow HelperBot neighbor Claire (Shen) asks to borrow his charger, what starts as an awkward encounter leads to a unique friendship, a surprising adventure, and maybe even...love? Winner of the Richard Rodgers Award, Maybe Happy Ending is the offbeat and captivating story of two outcasts near the end of their warranty who discover that even robots can be swept off their feet. Helmed by visionary director and Tony Award winner Michael Arden (Parade, Once on This Island), with a dazzling scenic design by Dane Laffrey (A Christmas Carol) and book, music, and lyrics by the internationally acclaimed duo Will Aronson and Hue Park, Maybe Happy Ending is a fresh, original musical about the small things that make any life worth living.

27) BROADWAY INTRODUCES QUARTERLY
“BROADWAY IN MEMORIAM”
TO HONOR THEATER LEGENDS
The newly formed Broadway In Memoriam Committee, composed of theatre owners in consultation with industry service organizations, is proud to announce the establishment of “Broadway In Memoriam,” a quarterly tradition dedicated to honoring the remarkable individuals who have left an indelible mark on Broadway.
Taking place four times a year on the second Tuesday of September, December, March and June, this solemn and celebratory event will recognize multiple honorees, ensuring that the contributions of Broadway’s most influential artists, creators, and industry professionals are remembered and revered.
The marquees of all 41 Broadway theaters will be dimmed simultaneously, on each Broadway In Memoriam evening, offering a moment of reflection and gratitude for the legacies of those who have shaped the theatrical world.
Creative professionals who have worked on Broadway and career professionals dedicated to the Broadway industry may be submitted for consideration by completing the online form at https://
Exceptions may arise where the Committee chooses to honor a singular individual who has had a profoundly significant and lasting impact on Broadway, such as Stephen Sondheim or Chita Rivera. This process doesn't preclude individual theatre owners having their own tributes at their theatres for employees or artists particularly meaningful to them they wish to recognize. These exceptions would not be part of the Broadway In Memoriam evening.
The inaugural Broadway In Memoriam will take place on June 10, celebrating Broadway veterans who have passed away in 2025, with the list of honorees announced in advance. The event will provide a moment for the Broadway community and theatergoers alike to celebrate the lives of those who have helped define the magic of Broadway.

Works & Process, a non-profit performing arts organization that champions artists and their creative process from studio to stage, announces its first-ever Residency Open Call.

For more information and to submit, visit https://www.worksandprocess.
Works & Process residencies center artists and their specific needs, providing them with focused time and space that is critical to develop work. Since 2018, Works & Process has aggregated resources to provide New York City artists with fully funded out-of-town residencies. In Summer 2020, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Works & Process pioneered the bubble residency model, and this has grown into an expansive residency program with a network of 15 partner venues in Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont. To date, Works & Process has produced 100+ residencies that have supported 700+ artists. Works that have been incubated through these residencies, and in many cases commissioned and premiered by Works & Process, have been recognized with Bessie Awards, National Dance Project grants, and toured nationally and internationally with the U.S. State Department.
Artists who create movement-based work are invited to apply for a residency to start a new project or continue developing an existing work in one of Works & Process’ week-long, out-of-town residencies. Works & Process residencies include industry-leading fees of $150 per artist/per day (up to $8,400 for a maximum of 8 participants), 24/7 studio access, on-site housing, a transportation stipend, and health insurance enrollment access. Each residency will culminate in an open rehearsal or showing for the local community. The projects will also be considered for Works & Process presentations in New York City.
Works & Process will accept up to 250 applications, beginning on March 18, 2025. The application will be open until April 22 at 5pm EST or until the submission limit is reached.
