WHO Lindsay Lohan
THE DEAL Having just finished making her stage debut in London's West End in David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow," Lindsay Lohan has hinted via an Instagram post that she may be looking to another of the playwright's works. "...ONE MAMET DOWN!!! Next stop. 1 year #OLEANNA," she posted. The two-actor drama is about a female college student who accuses her middle-aged male professor of sexual harassment.
THE SHOW "Fool for Love"
THE DEAL Nina Arianda, who previously won acclaim on Broadway in "Venus in Fur" and "Born Yesterday," will co-star in a revival of Sam Shepard's intense relationship drama "Fool for Love" with Sam Rockwell next fall. The production, first done at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, will be produced by Manhattan Theatre Club.
THE SHOW "It's Only a Play"
THE DEAL Katie Finneran, a two-time Tony winner with a great knack for comedy, will take over for Megan Mullally as a giddy producer in the Broadway comedy "It's Only a Play" starting on Jan. 7. "30 Rock" alum Maulik Pancholy will replace Rupert Grint as an experimental English director on the same date.
THE SHOW "Josephine and I"
THE DEAL Cush Jumbo, who is currently appearing alongside Hugh Jackman in "The River," will bring "Josephine and I," her one-woman show about the African-American performer and celebrity Josephine Baker, to the Public Theater in February. Phyllida Lloyd, whose work ranges from "Mamma Mia!" to Shakespeare, will direct.
