PRESIDENT FROM THE PRESIDENT LOCAL LOCAL BUSINESS REPORT FROM THE SECRETARY-TREASURER LETTERS LETTERS TO THE ARTISAN EVENTS CALENDAR OF EVENTS THEATER THEATER NEWS NEWS EXTENDED FAMILY NEWS LOOKS LAST LOOKS NEWS HEALTH AND WELFARE NEWS CREW CREW SHOTS CREDITS PHOTO CREDITS HIGHLIGHTS HIGHLIGHTS AND SHADOWS EDUCATION EDUCATION GUILD GUILD NEWS Speaking of James Corden, The Late Late Show with James Corden was recently shooting its annual prime-time special (scheduled to air on May 22) on the CBS Radford lot, and we had a talented mix of Roster, Network Television, Theater and Theme Park members working on the production: key make-up art- ist Diana Oh, make-up artists Alicia 'Ali' Carbajal, Kathleen 'Kat' Connelly and Jackie Zavala, key hair stylist Cassie Russek, hair stylists Stephanie Fenner, Rheanne Garcia and Zarina Herrera. The special will have Carpool Karaoke and Toddlerography installments—both of which are possible new CBS programs, and highlights from the year's best segments; also a number based on the song "Skid Row" from Little Shop of Horrors just for us theaterphiles … (Did you see the 'Crosswalk theater production' of Beauty & the Beast?!

Glenn Close is not eligible for a Tony nomination this year for the role of Norma Desmond, a revival of her work in Sunset Boulevard—as she already won the Tony for this role, in this show, back in 1995. I had the good fortune to work on the pre-Broadway premiere back in 1993/94 at the Shubert Theater, starring Ms. Close and an amazing cast. I am so glad to see Glenn (and the revival) getting all the critical acclaim that she so deserves … For revivals of a play, Broadway had an embarrassment of riches this season, with revivals of Six Degrees of Separation, The Front Page, The Glass Menagerie, The Little Foxes and August Wilson's Jitney leading the pack—juxtaposed against this season's wrench- ing play Sweat (which also happens to be set in Pennsylvania. Nine of August Wilson's most acclaimed works are set in Pittsburgh's Hill District…).
