Long Beach, CA—Musical Theatre West opens its 57th season with Meet Me In St. Louis, the stage adaptation of the beloved Judy Garland classic.

Shirley Jackson wrote the terrifying short story "The Lottery," not to mention the oft-filmed "The Haunting of Hill House." Now her novel "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" is set to be made into a film by Michael Douglas' Further Films from a screenplay by Mark Kruger. As put by the Hollywood Reporter: “Castle” revolves around the Blackwood family — primarily of sisters Merricat and Connie and their uncle Julian — who have been forced into seclusion after the mysterious lethal poisoning of several of their family members six years earlier. Merricat is the younger sister, caring for the agoraphobic Connie, while the ailing Julian increasingly is in the grip of his own obsessions. The plot is further complicated by the arrival of a dubious, long-lost cousin who seeks to secure the family’s fortune. The book apparently deals with the issue of agoraphobia.
