ABC has finally announced that Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli's midseason replacement for the network, The River, will air on February 07, 2012. British actor Shaun Parkes (Clubbed, The Mummy, Moses Jones) co-stars in the "thriller" that is sure to conjure up feelings for and delight fans of past ABC show, Lost. And even though it's a brief appearance, I'm glad Parkes made it into the show's trailer.

With the official Broadway debut of Stick Fly right around the corner, playwright Lydia R. Diamond recently commented, in an interview with The Boston Globe, on the general perception of the theater as well as the unaccounted fans that are often overlooked. "We have to acknowledge that theater has been largely elitist. But what we forget is that there are people who are so passionately invested in theater that they save their money and they come. They don’t go to 10 movies, and they come to the theater. And those are the people we forget about all the time. And dismiss,’’ she said.
