The schedule for the week of March 10-17 follows.

Center Stage
March 10: God of Carnage: The title makes it sound like a sort of classical war drama. It's actually a new play by Yasmina Reza (Art) that premiered in London and it's set very much in the present. However, there is not doubt that it builds into a battle royal between two sets of parents set off by a schoolyard incident between their respective children. Reza has written what she describes as "a comedy of manners...without the manners." The Broadway production brings to the stage several actors best known for TV and film work, notably James Gandolfini, star of the long-running "The Sopranos," Jeff Daniels of "The Purple Rose of Cairo," "Pleasantville" and other projects, Oscar-winner Marica Gay Harden and Hope Davis. Playbill Radio visits all four of them at their rehearsal hall in Times Square to find out what there was about this play to make them want to do it eight times a week.

Each week's new "Center Stage" show debuts at 7 PM ET Tuesday, with repeats scheduled for (all times ET) 2 AM Wednesday, March 11; 11 PM Wednesday, March 11; 2 PM Thursday, March 12; 11 AM Saturday, March 14; 4 PM Sunday, March 15.
