OFF AND RUNNING→ Pulitzer Prize finalist, Theresa Rebeck, brings her comedy about reality vs. reality TV, Our House, to New York.

OFF AND RUNNING→ I had to ask my younger cousin who exactly Drew Seeley was, which was a huge mistake, because I have now lost all cool cred with said cousin.

So, if you have kids in that all-too-delightful tween demo, you better take them to see him while he's still in the show. You've been warned!
