Time Out says

In 1928, Lee and J.J. Shubert built this 1,058-seat and named it after Ethel Barrymore, part of the renowned Barrymore acting dynasty. Since then, it has been home to work by Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Rodgers and Hart, and many others. According to the Shubert Organization, the Herbert Krapp–designed exterior was "modeled on the public baths in Rome, with a two-story terra-cotta grillwork screen. The interior decor combines Elizabethan, Mediterranean and Adamsesque styles." Recently, film star Geoffrey Rush headlined a daring revival of the absurdist classic, Exit the King.

Here There Are Blueberries

Moisés Kaufman and his Tectonic Theater Project have excelled in docutheater work that incorporates historical documents and sources, such as The Laramie Project and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde. In this play—which ran at New York Theatre Workshop in 2024 and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist that year—the subject is a trove of photographs that was donated to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007 and which revealed (as in The Zone of Interest) an oasis of Nazi leisure just beyond the horrors of Auschwitz. The script is by Kaufman and Amanda Gronich; Kaufman directs a cast of eight actors who play multiple roles.
