ArtsBeat Blog/NYTimes.com – by PATRICK HEALY
“The Lying Lesson,” a new play about a movie star who may or may not be Bette Davis, written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Craig Lucas (“Prelude to a Kiss”), will have its world premiere Off Broadway this winter at Atlantic Theater Company, executives there announced on Thursday.
The Emmy Award winner Carol Kane (“Taxi”) will star as the main character, who calls herself Ruth (Davis’s actual first name) as she tries to buy a home in a remote village in Maine; Ms. Kane most recently had a featured role in this summer’s Broadway revival of “Harvey.” The director will be Anna D. Shapiro, who won a Tony Award for her staging of “August: Osage County” on Broadway.
The comedy is set to begin preview performances at the Atlantic’s Linda Gross Theater on Feb. 6, 2013, with an opening night of Feb. 27; the closing date is scheduled for March 17.
The theater company will also produce another world premiere, “Good Television,” written by the actor Rod McLachlan.

Facebook Welcomes Instagram To The Company
MediaBistro.com/All Facebook – by JUSTIN LAFFERTY
Now that Facebook’s acquisition of photo-sharing application Instagram has officially been cleared, the social network took some time to welcome its newest company. Vice President of Engineering Mike Schropfer took some time to announce that the deal has gone through and that his company can now work together with Instagram.
Schropfer announced the finalization in a note on theFacebook newsroom:
So many of us at Facebook love using Instagram to share moments with our friends. And for so many people, sharing photos with friends is an important part of the Facebook experience. That’s why we’re so excited to bring Instagram to Facebook and see what we can create together.
As we said from the beginning, we are committed to building and growing Instagram independently. Instagram will continue to serve its community, and we will help Instagram continue to grow by using Facebook’s strong engineering team and infrastructure. We also can’t wait to work with the talented Instagram team to improve the mobile experience.
Instagram also posted news on its blog:
This is an exciting time for us – the community continues to grow, and more than 5 billion photos have now been shared through Instagram. We’re humbled that so many people around the world use Instagram to share their lives with friends through photos. From weddings to epic pilgrimages through the Spanish countryside, we’re constantly amazed by the stories that are shared on Instagram, and we thank you for being a part of this growing community.
