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. Apparently, Drew Seeley, is the "…totally hot guy from 'Another Cinderella Story'. Duh!" Anyway, he's now Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid. He is there until Aug. 30. 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!
