Sweet Bird of Youth 1959 - Articles Page 4

The Broadway community mourns the loss of illustrious costume designer Theoni Aldredge who died yesterday at age 78. The marquees of Broadway theatres in New York will be dimmed in her memory on Tuesday, January 25th, at exactly 7:00pm for one minute.

James Franco, who was just announced as a 2011 Oscar co-host yesterday, is reportedly in talks to join Oscar winner Nicole Kidman in the upcoming Broadway revival of SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, according to Showbiz411.com. Franco would appear as Chance Wayne, in the Fall 2011 production.

The Theatre School at DePaul University is delighted to announce that this coming December 31, 2010, will mark the 100th anniversary of the opening of the Merle Reskin Theatre (formerly The Blackstone Theatre). The Beaux-Arts style Blackstone Theatre, which was designed by Chicago architects Marshall and Fox, opened its doors just off of Michigan Avenue in the South Loop on New Years' Eve of 1910. In the course of the past century it has changed owners, names, addresses, audiences, and has stayed a hub of theatrical arts in a changing neighborhood and city. It faced many noteworthy changes in entertainment, including the introduction of the radio, television and film industries.

Michael Riedel is reporting in today's New York Post that Nicole Kidman, who was last seen on Broadway in 1998 in THE BLUE ROOM, will be returning to the stage next fall in a revival of Tennessee Williams' SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, directed by David Cromer.
