A-list stars like Helen Mirren, Neil Patrick Harris and Jake Gyllenhaal will help honor the Roundabout Theatre Company in a short film to air on NBC in New York on Saturday, February 6th. The non-profit powerhouse theatre company is celebrating its 50th anniversary with the 22-minute documentary ‘A Roundabout Road to Broadway’. After Saturday, audiences can watch the film online at the NBC 4 New York website.

Harris will act as host and there will be interviews with Roundabout vets including Alec Baldwin, Laura Benanti, Matthew Broderick, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Adam Driver, Stephen Karam, Audra McDonald, Jane Krakowski, Frank Langella, Liam Neeson and Christopher Plummer.

The film will take viewers from Roundabout’s humble beginning to its fiscal crisis in the 1980s to eventual turnaround and the crucial role it plays in theatre today.

Jake Gyllenhaal is turning to television.

The actor-producer and his Nine Stories Productions is teaming with A&E to develop an anthology that each season explores a different American cult persona as well as the provocative nature of belief.

Season one of the untitled drama will focus on Jim Jones, the leader of the cult Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ. The potential series in its freshman season would chronicle Jones’ path and the infamous Jonestown commune where in 1978 more than 900 people died in a mass murder/suicide organized by Jones. It ranks as one of the largest single losses of American civilian lives in history.
