Noël Coward’s Present LaughterFRI Nov 3 | 9p

The legendary Kevin Kline returns to Broadway in Noël Coward’s outrageous backstage comedy. With a spectacular cast headed by Kate Burton, Kristine Nielsen and Cobie Smulders, Present Laughter is the story of a self-obsessed, middle-aged actor who suddenly finds himself caught between fawning ingenues, crazed playwrights, secret trysts and unexpected twists.

In the Heights – Chasing Broadway DreamsFRI Nov 10 | 9p

A young, diverse group of relatively unknown performers dreamed of making it on Broadway with their show In the Heights. They took a risk—and succeeded beyond their wildest expectations, winning four Tony Awards. This documentary tells the personal stories of composer/lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda and his cast in the months leading up to opening night.

IndecentFRI Nov 17 | 9p

This play tells the true story of a troupe of actors in the 1920s, the cast of Sholem Asch’s God of Vengeance, who risked their careers to perform a work in which they deeply believed—at a time when art, freedom and truth were all on trial.

Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn – The Broadway Musical FRI Nov 24 | 9p

Kick off the holiday season with this Irving Berlin classic! Our hero Jim leaves the bright lights of Broadway to settle down at an old farmhouse in Connecticut, but life just isn’t the same without a bit of song and dance. This musical includes all-time favorites such as “Shaking the Blues Away,” “Cheek to Cheek” and, of course,

“White Christmas.”

See Holiday Inn LIVE in Seattle!Holiday Inn will be playing at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre from November 24 through December 31. Learn more and get your tickets today! Visit www.5thavenue.org or call 206.625.1900.

The VA and the Human Cost of War MON Nov 6 | 9p

Documentary filmmaker Ric Burns delves into the history of the Department of Veterans Affairs, from its troubled beginnings to the modern VA system: its functions, its importance, how it has come to be broken in recent generations and how it may be reformed.

POV: Almost SunriseMON Nov 13 | 10p

In an attempt to put haunting combat experiences behind them, two friends embark on an epic 2,700-mile trek on foot across America. They seek redemption and healing as a way to close the moral chasm opened by war. Almost Sunrise is a vérité film that avoids stereotypes and instead presents an unprecedented portrait of veterans—one of hope, potential and untold possibilities
