Chicago – Moving from writing plays for the stage to writing for film may seem like a natural transition. But at the roots in each of these separate storytelling forms there are different ways of formulating the connection between dialogue and visuals. Alice Austen made this transition when she wrote – with director Kirill Mikhanovsky – the story and screenplay for “Give Me Liberty.”

Drive, He Said: Inside the Med Van in ‘Give Me Liberty’

“Give Me Liberty” involves medical transport driver Vic (Chris Galust), who is perpetually late for his mostly handicapped clients, but it’s not his fault. Roads are closed for a protest, and no one else can shuttle his Russian grandfather and émigré friends to a funeral. The new route uproots his scheduled clients, particularly Tracy (Lauren “Lolo” Spencer in a breakout performance), a vibrant young woman with Als. As the day goes from hectic to off-the-rails,...

Disney’s 2012 Tony-winning Broadway musical Newsies makes its debut on the big screen this week, playing in movie theaters nationwide for three days beginning Thursday as part of a new partnership between Fathom Events and Disney Theatrical Productions.

It’s an unexpected move for the cult favorite, which had a long journey to success.

Newsies was primed to be the High School Musical hit of 1992 — with a cast of singing and dancing teens (including a young Christian Bale), a score by composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast) and lyricist Jack Feldman, and future HSM director Kenny Ortega at the helm.

Disney’s high-flying hit musical Newsies is back — and this time, it’s headed to the big screen!

The 2011 Tony-winning show — itself an adaptation of the 1992 cult-classic film — has been filmed live, and will air in movie theaters nationwide for three days this February as part of a new partnership between Fathom Events and Disney Theatrical Productions.

People has the exclusive first look at the trailer, which features Jeremy Jordan (The CW’s Supergirl) reprising his Tony-nominated role as newsboy leader Jack Kelly alongside three of his other fellow original cast members returning to their parts: Kara Lindsay (Katherine), Ben Fankhauser...

After a run of about 15 minutes, Duck Commander Musical has announced a quick closing at the Rio in Las Vegas. Based on Willie and Korie Robertson’s 2012 book about the Louisiana family and the franchise built on its A&E Network series Duck Dynasty, the bio-revue was the brainchild of Broadway’s Dodger Productions (Jersey Boys) and was staged by Jeff Calhoun (Newsies). The show’s book is by Asa Somers, and the score, by Steven Morris, Robert Morris and Joe Shane, ranges…...

Duck Dynasty: The Musical is officially theater-bound! Considering Broadway is pretty gay -- or at least, gay-friendly -- and considering what duck patriarch Phil Robertson has said in the past about homosexuality leading to bestiality, it may seem like an odd fit.

Until you find out it’s actually a Vegas musical. That makes more sense.

The Duck Commander Musical is a “modern-day Beverly Hillbillies story” about a “backwoods family” that strikes it rich. Don’t expect a satire or tell-all either, the Roberston family had script and casting approval.

Watch: Which Duck Dynasty star wants to be on Dancing With the Stars?!

Producer Michael David, whose credits include Jersey Boys, told The New York Times, “The show will end up challenging the views and assumptions of people across the political spectrum, more than most theater does.”

It’s being staged by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun (Newsies) and is based on Willie and Korie Robertson’s 2012 book...

The Ford's Theatre Society 2014-2015 season continues with the musical Freedom's Song Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, directed by Jeff Calhoun, March 13 through May 20, 2015, at the historic Ford's Theatre 511 Tenth Street Nw, Washington, D.C.. A new adaptation of the Broadway musical The Civil War, Freedom's Song features the words of Abraham Lincoln and music inspired by the letters of those who lived through the Civil War. The production is part of Ford's 150 Remembering the Lincoln Assassination, a series of events marking the 150 years since Abraham Lincoln's assassination at Ford's Theatre.Below go inside rehearsal with Kevin McAllister and Gregory Maheu as they perform 'Father, How Long' and 'Northbound Train.'...

Here's something to quack up about: Duck Dynasty could become a big Las Vegas show. The Robertson Family, the stars of A&E's hit series Duck Dynasty, are in talks to create a musical for the Rio Hotel and Casino, People confirms. The plan is to stage a 90-minute show called The Duck Commander Family Musical, which would be based on the book, The Duck Commander Family: How Faith, Family and Ducks Built a Dynasty, by Willie and Korie Robertson. The hope is to raise the curtain on the semi-autobiographical show in February. There will be lyrics and tunes from Robert Morris,...

Because, clearly, what the world needed was more Duck Dynasty and what Duck Dynasty needed was more show-stopping musical numbers, a Duck Dynasty musical is in the works. The New York Times reports that a 90-minute show titled The Duck Commander Family Musical with actors in the roles of the Robertson family has plans to open in Las Vegas. Though it sounds like a cross between Waiting for Guffman's Red, White and Blaine and, as Frank Rich pointed out on Twitter, something out of a Mel Brooks movie, the show actually has some Broadway pedigree, with Jersey Boys producer Michael David developing it.

At the top of “Newsies,” a weary Jack Kelly laments his New York life, and his faithful friend Crutchie argues, “But everyone wants to come to New York!” While Kelly may not agree—at least initially—70 actors flocked to the Big Apple last week, gunning for their shot to be in the show. “We’ve sort of exhausted our resources here in New York, so we have to go outside the city,” said director Jeff Calhoun. “The bar has been set so high with the caliber of boys we had the first time that we have to maintain that degree of excellence. It’s not just looking for people that are ready to open on Broadway today, but it’s also helping groom the people for the future.” The auditions at Pearl Studios July 10 were the culmination of a nine-city tour in search of the next members of the “Newsies...
