Alumni Alert:
Come see alumni Layla Khoshnoudi in I'm Not Even Half at The Bushwick Starr! This show is created and performed by Layla Khoshnoudi. The show is directed by Machel Ross and produced in association with ¡OYE! Group. Performances are October 6 to October 24, 2026. Glued to her phone, watching a violent uprising unfold in Iran, S gets hit by a car while crossing the street in Brooklyn. She may have a concussion but the driver is cute. Darkly funny, and deeply relatable, I’m Not Even Half takes us on an odyssey of pick-me antics and self-discovery, where physical impact interrupts psychic patterns, forcing S to confront: what is worthy of faith and what is worthy of being gut-punched to hell?

Two ACTING COMPANY alums, Duane Boutté and Christian Conn, join together to present Jim Helsinger's Dracula: The Journal of Jonathan Harker September 16 thru 27 at Bannerman Island on the Hudson River. Conn makes his directorial debut directing Boutté who navigates ten characters in this exciting one-person play based closely on Bram Stoker's novel; a return engagement after last year's Broadway World Regional Award-winning run (best direction) at the same spectacular venue. The short jaunt to Bannerman Island from NYC is a memorable prelude to the evening's one-of-a-kind performance. Metro-North's train along the Hudson and the 'included' boat ride (leaving from the Beacon stop) are simply stunning as Bannerman's castle ruins loom taller and taller in the river with your approach. Then, the work of TAC alums Boutté and Conn which we trust you'll enjoy. Get your tickets now for this in-demand performance by visiting: BannermanCastle.org

NOTE: Tickets available now for Sept. 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 25, and 26. Additional tickets will open for Sept. 22, 23, 24, and 27 once it's clear they're not needed as rain dates.

The National Liberal Club is a London private members’ club, open to both men and women. It was established in 1882 to provide club facilities for Liberal Party campaigners among the newly enlarged electorate following the Third Reform Act in 1884, and was envisioned as a more accessible version of a traditional London club. The club’s Italianate building on the Embankment of the River Thames is the second-largest clubhouse built in London.

Last year, Judith retired from her life-on-stage. Already, she misses the applause. Idling away at their country home, the rest of the family – reclusive novelist husband David and failure-to- launch children Sorrel and Simon – are too self-involved to be a good audience. So, Judith invites a young fan as her guest for the weekend. But unbeknownst to her, each of the Blisses have a guest of their own arriving at the very same time. Completely unsuited to hosting and allergic to compromise, the house quickly erupts into a chaos of parlour games, put-downs and unrequested encores. Emmy, two-time Tony, Screen Actors Guild and Drama Desk winner Christine Baranski makes her West End debut as the iconic Judith Bliss, sparring with Academy Award nominated stage and screen legend Richard E. Grant. Don’t miss your chance to see comic romps like this at the National Theatre on The Acting Company’s October 2026 London Theater Excursion! theactingcompany.org/london for more details
