Season Three of Slings & Arrows begins on Sundance tonight at 8pm. Use this thread to discuss the episode.

I’m very excited for the new season, which unfortunately will be the last season. Will Geoffrey and Ellen end up together? Who will be the new cast members? What will happen to Oliver? Who will screw with Richard’s head this season? And most importantly, will there actually be a King Lear-based theme song?

Discuss Season 1 here and Season 2 here. Future episodes for Season 3 will be posted as they air on Sundance.

Use the comments section of this post to discuss the first episode of Season Three, “Divided Kingdom.” Any comments I may have will also be posted in the comments section.

By the way, did you know that Paul Gross (Geoffrey) and Martha Burns (Ellen) are married in real life? That’s hot.

If you’re in the New York City area, you should check out A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Theater Ten Ten. I don’t want to give too much away, but let me tell you a little about the production I saw on Friday night.

It’s difficult to do something original, and yet supported, with this play, but director Judith Jarosz manages to pull more than a few surprises out of her bag of tricks that even a wary Shakespeare snob would have trouble nitpicking. Anticipate standout performances in the roles of Puck (Annalisa Loeffler), Hermia (Tatiana Gomberg), and Helena (Lynn Marie Macy), that not only challenge traditional interpretations of these characters, but also find new interpretations that really do work. And musical director/composer Jason Wynn deserves a special mention for some of the most memorable moments of the production.

Tickets are a bargain at $20, and the theatre is conveniently located on the upper east side of Manhattan, 1010 Park Ave., between 84th Street and 85th Street. The play runs through March 11. You can find more information on their website, including information on how to reserve tickets.

If you do see the show, you can discuss it in the comments section of this post. If you really like the show, you can give them some good buzz at the New York Innovative Theatre Awards website and help them get some additional funding. They’re a small theatre that does strong work, and can use all the support they can get. You can start by treating yourself to this wonderful show.

Don’t forget – Sundance is showing all six episodes of Season Two of Slings & Arrows today from 3pm to 8pm. Then, the new season begins at 8pm.

Use the comments section of this post to discuss any aspect of Season Two. You can discuss the Darren Nichols production of Romeo & Juliet, the new internship program, Frog Hammer’s marketing campaign, Ellen’s audit, the main stage production of, um, “Mackers,” or the elementary school version of it.

You can continue to discuss Season One in my earlier post here. And I’ll start putting up a thread to discuss Season Three episodes each Sunday, starting this afternoon.

Here’s a taste of Season Two to hold you over until 3pm.
