A Belated Happy New Year!
Even though John's play The Royal Family closed on December 13 last year after a critically-acclaimed and twice-extended run, there is plenty of news to catch up on, and new projects to look forward to.
The Royal Family Round-Up
For those of you loath to see the exploits of the Barrymores Cavendishes disappear from Broadway, you can check out Broadway Beat's scenes and interviews from opening night and a similarly-themed video from Broadway World. The must-see, though, is John's episode of Theater Talk, also featuring Tony Roberts.
The Lisbon Traviata
As revealed in Playbill, John will be playing the role of "flamboyantly bitchy and viciously wicked opera queen" Mendy in Terrence McNally's The Lisbon Traviata. The play will be directed by Christopher Ashley, and will run at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC from March 10 to April 11 as part of a short season of McNally's opera-related plays. Ticket and other information can be found on the Kennedy Center's website.
Audiobook
John has recorded a new audiobook that will be released in the coming months - Ted Dekker's The Bride Collector, which will be released in April.
Ojai Playwrights' Conference
John will be performing at the Ojai Playwrights' Conference on January 30 alongside such stars as Sally Field, Dana Delany, Zachary Quinto, and Ted Danson.
