The remainder of the season will be announced shortly.

Hall's The Mountaintop, a highly theatrical imagining of the last night in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., won the London Olivier Award for Best New Play. Its subsequent (unrelated) Broadway production starred Angela Bassett (as a mysterious maid) and Samuel L. Jackson as Dr. King.

Hall's Hurt Village recently had its world premiere by Signature Theatre Company in Manhattan.

Rebeck's Seminar, a comedy about eager young novelists getting whipped into shape by a jaded editor, is currently on Broadway.

Rebeck is the author of Broadway's Mauritius and many other plays seen Off-Broadway and regionally. Omnium Gatherum, which she co-wrote, was a finalist for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize. She created the NBC TV series "Smash."

Casting and creative teams will be announced for these resident productions.
