| GREY GARDENS GETS GETS Since the end of Caroline in the City, Gay actor Malcolm Gets has moved over to the indie side of life, appearing in Thirteen Conversations About One Thing and the Queer romantic comedy Adam & Steve. But now he's signed on to participate in what could become his most high-profile project to date. Grey Gardens, which Romeo reported on earlier, is the narrative film based on the documentary of the same name about Jacqueline Kennedy's eccentric relatives, Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter, "Little Edie." Boosted by the success of the Tony Award-winning musical, this version won't feature characters breaking into song nearly as much as the stage play, but Gets will appear as "Big Edie's" musical accompanist, alongside Jessica Lang, Drew Barrymore, and Jeanne Tripplehorn as Jackie Kennedy. The finished product will air on HBO in 2008. Can't wait. THE L WORD GETS ITS MAN Character actor Wallace Shawn is one of those men you know but maybe don't know that you know - the guy who kept muttering the word "inconceivable" during The Princess Bride, to name one of his many comedic projects. And now that the new season of The L-Word is just around the corner, Shawn will be joining the cast as the money man behind writer Jenny's "fictional" film project, Les Girls. The veteran of more comedies than most actors can count, Shawn will appear in a multi-episode arc. And yes, that means Jenny (Mia Kirshner) didn't wind up being eaten by sharks when she set sail in a little boat at the end of last season, though getting back to land to work on a film in Hollywood can have similar results. TONY KUSHNER'S LATEST MARQUEE-UNFRIENDLY PLAY Tony Kushner, the award-winning playwright behind the landmark Angels in America, is hard at work on a new piece. Its tentative title? The Intelligent Homosexual's Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures. There's no word on the plot yet - and if there were, it might take too much room here to explain - but it's reportedly going to deal with Gay issues in a family setting. So pity the poor person assigned to arrange those letters on a marquee, but don't pity the theater company that commissioned the work. That would be the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, a highly respected regional theater that will undoubtedly make an even bigger name for itself when the piece has its world premiere there in spring of 2009. It's good to have friends in high places. Romeo San Vicente got his start in a Midwest theater group, but too many years of playing a carrot in the Thanksgiving pageant soured him on the stage.
