The dark comedy about American dreamers in Sunnyside, Queens, will continue through October 19.
Jane spoke at the opening night of her husbands (Bradley Whitford) new adaptation of Boeing-Boeing
“I’m going to be doing House of Blue Leaves at the newly refurbished Mark Taper Forum — Kate Burton and I, in September. I’m Bunny, and she’s Bananas. Kate and I were roommates together at Yale Drama School, and now our daughters are in the fourth grade at the same school in Los Angeles, and, after all these years, we’re back together again. Nicky Martin is directing it.”
“Bradley’s so well known on ‘The West Wing’ for being a serious actor, but he is a huge comic ham, and he’s very physical. There’s one time where he was doing a gorilla banging on his chest. Impersonating animals is one of the best things he got out of Juilliard. Thank God, it’s come in handy.”
Jane also attended the My Fair Lady premiere in April.
Jane was on Hollywood 411 last March talking about her charity auction site selling celebrity clothes off the red carpet. Making $2 Million for children’s charitys since 2002.
In April Jane was at the Luxury Summit in conversation with John Atwood, the editor in chief of Travel + Leisure Golf to explain just how the charity she founded works.
Earth Day was on 22 April and Jane Kaczmarek got involved. Organic Valley sponsored celebrity Earth Day Dinners and Jane co-hosted one in Los Angeles. Paper Shouts, provider of posh notes for life’s big moments, joined Distinctive Assets in celebrating Earth Day by gifting celebrities that make a difference. Jane was one of the celebrity ambassadors receiving the green gift baskets.

Multiple Emmy-winner Bochco and the cast of Raising the Bar - Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Jane Kaczmarek and Gloria Reuben and the show co-creator, lawyer-writer David Feige - were part of a panel on the new show.
At the panel, Michael Wright, senior vice president of Turner Entertainment Networks’ Content Creation Group, said that legal, medical and police shows all entail strong characters and conflict, which makes for good dramatic fodder for the network.
To cap her show’s panel, Kaczmarek said that she looks forward to attending TNT events, because of Wright.
