The Atlantic Acting School wants to give a full ride to two promising actors. “We usually don’t give out a full scholarship like this,” Mary McCann, executive director of the New York–based school, told Backstage. “We’ll give pieces of scholarships, so this is a really big deal for us.” The school hopes the funding will help lure national-level talent, who could then perform in its attached theater company. “It would be great for members of the ensemble over the two-year period,” said McCann. The scholarship is being offered in two different areas: One is for the full-time conservatory, which is a two-and-a-half-year program, and the other is for an evening conservatory, which is a one-year program done in three semesters. A full scholarship to the evening conservatory is $12,000. The daytime program is worth $42,500 over the two-and-a-half years. Both scholarships cover full tuition, but not room and board.

Winter is coming to Broadway. And so is Emilia Clarke, the Khaleesi from HBO’s Game of Thrones, who will play Holly Golightly in a new adaptation of Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Richard Greenberg (Take Me Out), opening this spring.
In addition, Tom Hanks confirmed that he’ll make his long-overdue Broadway debut this season as the late tabloid columnist Mike McAlary in Lucky Guy, a new play by Nora Ephron (who died of leukemia in June).

Harper ReganEverything about Harper Regan — and everything about Harper Regan — feels dislocated, like a limb out of joint, numb and tender at the same time. It’s a puzzling sensation, and sometimes Simon Stephens’s midlife-walkabout is merely that: puzzling. Sometimes it approaches ghostly sublimity. This seems to depend entirely on the deployment of its central, title character, a 43-year-old wife and mother from the London exurbs (nobody here is from the center of anything) played with intensity, invisible precision, and quiet commitment by Mary McCann.We meet Harper in a series of sequential but atomized vignettes, each performed in an ever-so-slightly different style, as she goes on a Dante-esque odyssey from Uxbridge — where money is tight, her marriage to troubled Seth (Gareth Saxe) is stalling out, and her daughter Sarah (Madeleine Martin) regards her with pity and disdain — to Stockport, near Manchester, where her father is dying. Harper’s...

"The House of the Devil," an independent film from writer and director Ti West (The Roost) is currently premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival with plans to show at the Marche du Film Market screening in May. Set in 1983 the film boasts a plethora of nostalgic 80s tunes and from one early review "The House of the Devil," stays in a glossy, but only slightly campy theme similar to horror films from this decade. Utilizing the positive in some dark subject matter the film focuses on Samantha, a street-smart babysitter who gets involved with a fiendish family of Satan worshipers non-descriptively known as Mr. and Mrs. Ulman. Have a look at the first grainy trailer as "The House of the Devil," makes a second premiere in Cannes, France.

This evening we've posted the first ever review of Ti West's (The Roost, Trigger Man, Cabin Fever 2) latest genre effort, The House Of The Devil, which will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival (April 22-May 3) later this month. " 'The House of the Devil' is easily Ti Wests most accomplished work to date and its a film that both West and Dark Sky Films/Mpi should be very, very proud of. While the audience is sure to be divided once again, Devil does carry enough pop, blood and scares to give the average naysayer a reason to jump ship." Greta Gerwig, Jocelin Donahue, Aj Bowen, Tom Noonan, Mary Woronov, Dee Wallace, Mary B. McCann, Brenda Cooney, John Speredakos, Heather Robb all star. Click below to read the whole review.

Clark Gregg has one of those faces; you've seen him in countless TV and film roles, usually looking serious and determined and carrying a gun. He's played enough cops, lawyers, and FBI agents — among them his recurring role as Agent Michael Casper on The West Wing and his appearance as the mysterious operative looking to recruit the title character in Iron Man — to start his own task force. It's a casting trend that amuses the 46-year-old Gregg and his friends. "I did kind of become the go-to guy for authority figures, which is something that everyone who knows me gets a really good laugh out of," he notes. "I guess I have an FBI face, I don't know."At any rate, it's one that is becoming increasingly familiar to audiences, thanks to turns in films like the aforementioned Iron Man and his regular role as the wry ex-husband to Julia Louis-Dreyfus...
