CHICAGO – The late playwright August Wilson left a gift to the world in the form of his “American Century Cycle,” a series of plays each individually set in a decade of the 20th Century, focusing on the black experience. Chicago’s Goodman Theatre presents Wilson’s “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” now through May 19th, 2024 (click here).
TV News: FOX Renews ‘Touch,’ Cancels ‘Alcatraz’
CHICAGO – Good news, bad news for fans of FOX dramas. To no one’s surprise, FOX has pulled the plug on their highly-promoted “Alcatraz” as ratings plummeted throughout the season. A little more surprisingly, they’ve decided to give “Touch” with Kiefer Sutherland more time to find an audience.
This leaves almost no question marks on the network as these dramas were the final major decisions left for the executives. Now it comes down to when to air their slate of renewed shows, which includes “Glee,” “Raising Hope,” “Bones,” “Fringe,” “New Girl,” and their Sunday “Animation Domination.” A little shuffling might do this network some good.
In other news, the network has officially canceled “The Finder.”
The official FOX schedule for Fall 2012 will be released on Monday morning. Check back in to HollywoodChicago.com next week for all of the announcements.
