THE SHOW "Apple Family Plays" 
 THE DEAL "The Apple Family Plays," Richard Nelson's acclaimed series of four plays at the Public Theater examining a family in upstate New York during pivotal political moments of the past four years, such as the day of Obama's re-election and the 10th anniversary of 9/11, will be recorded by WNET/13 next week for future television broadcast. 
 THE SHOW "Nothing to Hide" 
 THE DEAL "Nothing to Hide," the two-man magic show directed by Neil Patrick Harris at Off-Broadway's Pershing Square Signature Center, is officially a hit.

The film starred Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. 
 WHAT Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS 
 THE DEAL The theater community raised $4.3 million for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS over the past few weeks as part of its annual fall fundraising drive.
