Roundup

-London edition: Matt Wolf wonders if we are seeing the last of a great generation of British stage actors. And Ben Brantley is off on another NYT assignment, keeping an online journal.

-Interesting conflict brewing over the new B'way bound Twyla Tharp Sinatra musical--the American Guild of Musical Artists claims it should continue to represent the cast of actor/dancers as it did in the show's Atlanta premiere. Actors Equity disagrees.

-Interesting new anthology out now collecting some of the more prominent new work by Arab-American and MidEast-American playwrights.

-And good news for the little Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit--their donor-list now includes a Mr. and Mrs. Barack Obama.
