...Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., is. "If people find out about it, it's going to get mobbed," he says. Van Alen, a stockbroker, has attended a dozen Powerhouse productions each summer for 15 years. "They're as good as, if not better than, plays I've seen on Broadway and off-Broadway," he says. Indeed, many of the plays that end up on New York City stages get their start at the Powerhouse...
...career, at least, is being rebuilt on a solid foundation. This week Culkin, now 20, will open off-Broadway in Madame Melville, a Richard Nelson play that drew rave reviews in London, in which he plays a 15-year-old student who is seduced by his French teacher (Joely Richardson).

Arje Shaw's "The Gathering," about the conflict between a Holocaust survivor (Hal Linden) and his son, will arrive on Broadway in April. And off-Broadway's Classic Stage Company...
...loyalty and betrayal. Lonergan, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter (You Can Count on Me) and playwright (This Is Our Youth, The Waverly Gallery) weaves an intriguing tale that keeps one glued to the stage for two hours. But too many sitcom-style laughs and contrived character twists betray this off-Broadway comedy-drama as a slick but disposable confection...
