Exclusive: Kaley Cuoco, Tom Pelphrey, Briana Cuoco, Midori Francis, Rebecca Mozo and Justin Chatwin are set to star in the play Love Kills, a special event that will see all proceeds going towards IATSE members who have been impacted by the strikes.

Based on the one-act plays by Don Nigro, the event will run November 15-18 at the Colony Theater in Burbank.

Kevin Kittle is directing with Cara Christian producing. Justin Huen will be the technical director, with Dana Schwartz serving as stage manager.

The plays explore all the ways that “love can be deadly,” and they are shared like campfire ghost stories; full of suspense and atmosphere, infused with humor and a few winks at the audience. As with most of Nigro’s plays, they are a celebration of storytelling, and hopefully a reminder of the simple magic that can be created with a writer, a couple actors, a few stools,...

On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every other day throughout the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. The Free Movie of the Day we have for you today is the horror mystery Arctic Void. You can watch it over on the YouTube channel linked above, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.

Directed by Darren Mann, who wrote the screenplay with William Paul Jones and Michael Weaver, Arctic Void has the following synopsis: When the power mysteriously fails, and almost everyone vanishes from a small tourist vessel in the Arctic, fear becomes the master for the three who remain. Forced ashore, the men deteriorate in body and mind until a dark truth emerges that compels them to ally or perish.

Co-writer Michael Weaver stars in the film alongside Tim Griffin,...

Maintaining truthfulness and avoiding stereotypes are the major challenges when playing racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities.Consider the daunting task that Tamer Aziz faces in tackling a character who is gay, Iranian, and Muslim in Jay Paul Deratany's fact-based play "Haram Iran" (now at the Celebration Theatre in Hollywood). Or the issues that black actors deal with in enacting a brutal racist episode within the context of a minstrel show in John Kander and Fred Ebb's musical "The Scottsboro Boys" (currently at New York's Vineyard Theatre). Justin Huen also has his work cut out for him playing Oedipus in Luis Alfaro's play "Oedipus el Rey," a retelling of Sophocles' tragedy set in a Los Angeles barrio (playing the Theatre @ Boston Court in Pasadena, Calif.). Jennifer Lim grapples with a fully assimilated and not very sensitive Asian American in Lauren Yee's satire "Ching Chong Chinaman" (now at New York's...

Fresh off his lauded New York production of Farragut North, director Doug Hughes reunites much of his ensemble cast, including Juno's Olivia Thirlby, The Wire's Isiah Whitlock, Jr, Mia Barron, Dan Bittner and Justin Huen, at the Geffen Playhouse to join the previously announced Chris Noth and Chris Pine. Noth, best known for his longtime stint as Detective Mike Logan on Law & Order and as the (in)famous Mr.Big on Sex and the City, is a fellow cast member from the Atlantic Theater Company's NY production, while Pine, who is starring as the young Captain Kirk in the new film Star Trek and was recently seen in the Geffen's production of Neil Labute's Fat Pig, is new to the La production. Written by Beau Willimon, Farragut North was recently nominated for two Outer Critics Circle Awards including Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play.

It premieres today on Sony Pictures Entertainment’s on-line video network Crackle.com, with subsequent episodes airing each weekday through March 13 before the show is released in its entirety to DVD (details to be announced).

Battlestar Galactica’s Lucy Lawless, Hellboy’s Doug Jones,...

Let me tell you what’s Bad Ass: This show, Zoe Bell, and how I feel when I watch it. Angel of Death, the ten episode web series from creator Ed Brubaker and Sony's Crackle is coming to a computer near you on March 2nd. This gem, about a cold-blooded killer growing a conscience, along with a few other shows I’m starting to see out there, is a whole new level of web series—from storytelling, to production value, to performance. I’m telling you folks, the times they are a changin’. At the moment, the jury is out on Franklin, Eve’s assassin trainee, he just seems a little too ‘naïve’ to be a future assassin, there’s just no darkness to him and I can’t tell if it’s the writing, directing or Justin Huen’s acting, but something here is amiss. And finally there’s Jake Abel as beleaguered mob-boss-to-be,...
