For those unfamiliar with it, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americantheatrewing.org\/downstagecenter\/\" target=\"_blank\">Downstage Center<\/a> is an interview program hosted by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americantheatrewing.org\/biography\/detail\/howard_sherman\" target=\"_blank\">Howard Sherman of the American Theatre Wing<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/209.85.173.132\/search?q=cache:gL1sHpHIO1QJ:www.xmradio.com\/onxm\/channelbio.xmc%3Fch%3D28+John+Von+Soosten&#038;hl=en&#038;ct=clnk&#038;cd=8&#038;gl=us\" target=\"_blank\">John Von Soosten<\/a>.

So I dropped a note to the folks at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americantheatrewing.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">American Theatre Wing<\/a>. Their response:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Sirius XM has informed ATW of their intent to continue &#8220;Downstage  Center,&#8221; but details are to be worked out.  We are currently waiting  for further details and hope to be back on the air very soon.<\/p>\n<p>Fans are welcome to express their support by writing to:<\/p>\n<p>On Broadway<br \/>\nSirius Xm Satellite Radio<br \/>\n1221 Avenue of the Americas<br \/>\nNew York NY  10020<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We need to write Sirius XM and let them know to support this excellent program.<\/p>\n<li><b>Hey, Cy Coleman Fans!<\/b> In other theatre stuff, finally Cy Coleman\u2019s \u201c<i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldstar.com\/tr\/nc\/5823\/38046\/events\/hollywood-ca\/the-life.html?ref=sub38046&#038;mar=news5823\" target=\"_blank\">The Life<\/a><\/i>\u201d is being done in Los Angeles.
