For those of you who aren't familiar with my Theatre News Roundups from previously, this is just meant to be a handy guide for some of the big stories of interests posted to various theatre sites each day. TNR's are generally daily though sometimes I will skip a day or two if I'm too busy with other commitments. In that case, those stories will get rolled into the next edition. Posts tend to go up some time between 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm, allowing you to catch up on the day's stories after work. All the text to follow aside from my choice of headings belongs to the writers at the links attached to each blurb unless otherwise specified. Quotes have been edited for brevity.
