Check out what’s coming soon，and what’s in development. Playbill will update
these listings when new information is made available.
THE COLLABORATION at Samuel J. Friedman Theatre
The play tells a true story in New York. Fifty-six-year-old Warhol’s star is falling.
Jean is the new wonder-kid taking the art world by storm. When Jean agrees to work
together with Warhol on a new exhibition, it soon becomes the talk of the city. The
two artists set foot on a shared journey, both artistic and deeply personal, which
redraws both their worlds.
ALMOST FAMOUS at Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre
Based on the 2,000 film of the same name, the musical features Pulitzer winner
Kitt and a book by Crowe, who earned an Oscar award for penning the original film
based on his own teenage experience. The coming-of-age story tracks a 15-year-old
music fan named William who follows the emerging band Stillwater on tour.
THE PIANO LESSON at Ethel Barrymnore Theatre
The play is the fourth in Wilson’s Century Cycle, which digs into the Black
experience in every decade of the 20th century. Set in Pittsburgh’s Hill District in
1936, it centers around a brother and a sister involved in a battle over a piano carved
with the faces of their ancestors.
KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Booth Theatre
Kim is a bright and funny high school girl, who happens to look like a 72-year-
old lady. And yet her aging disease may be the least of her problems. Forced to deal

For some people, October is October. On October 5, Katmai National Park and
Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and
after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before
they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force
One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds.
Fat Bear Week started in 2014. At first, it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a
former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated
a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the
Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week.
Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.
The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks
are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear
Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens.“It’s not limited to the
fortunate few who can go to the river anymore.”Fitz said.
Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live
in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon
（三文鱼） in the world，said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the
Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming
rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish
in, has been free from these threats so far.
Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it
shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on
climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the
world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some
really fat bears in Alaska.”
24. Why was Bear 747 the winner?
A. It was the heaviest. B. It was the most famous.

A new study has found that a child's reading speed can be improved by simply
increasing the space between letters within a piece of text. The research, led by Dr
Steven Stagg of Anglia Ruskin University（ARU）, examined the benefits of letter
spacing and coloured overlays（颜色标注） among children.
Two groups of children, dyslexic（有阅读障碍的） and non-dyslexic children,
were asked to read four texts with either standard or extra-large letter spacing, both
with and without a coloured overlay. They were instructed to read the text out loud
while being recorded. The recording was used to measure the number of errors they
made — specifically missed words, added words, wrong words, and pronunciation —
as well as the participants’ reading time. The study discovered that text with increased
space between letters provided a benefit for both groups. On average, the dyslexia
group showed a 13% increase in reading speed, while the group of non-dyslexic
children showed a 5% increase. In addition to improving reading speed, it also
resulted in a significant decline in the number of words missed by the children with
dyslexia. However, the study found that coloured overlays had no significant impact
on reading speed or the reduction of errors for either group.
Dr Stagg, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at ARU, said:“We believe extra-large
letter spacing works by reducing what is known as the ‘crowding effect’, which can
hamper the recognition of letters and reduce reading speed.”
