In the latest example of a nationwide funding crisis for nonprofit regional theaters, Chicago’s Tony Award-winning Lookingglass Theatre has announced a year-long pause in new productions and layoffs impacting 50% of its staff.
The move comes just two weeks after the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles announced that theater productions will be halted in July for the rest of the 2023-24 season.

K.J. Yossman Posters for the West End run of “Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding” have been pulled from U.K. subway stations after breaching Transport for London (TfL) advertising rules.

But this breached TfL rules on promoting “HFSS” foods (foods that are high in fat, salt or sugar). TfL are the government body responsible for the U.K. capital’s transport network. According to their advertising policy, even posters featuring “incidental” HFSS food are banned – meaning the calorific-looking wedding cake was a definite no-no. “Advertising copy may be rejected by TfL or its agents on the basis that the advertisement promotes the consumption of HFSS foods,” reads the policy.

That’s why we walked away from Villa Blanca and didn’t renew that lease, too.” She also said that she’s not looking to relocate and open Pump somewhere else in Los Angeles. “I’m opening two more with Caesars Place [in Las Vegas], so that’s very exciting,” Vanderpump said. “I have two already that are going gangbusters.
