Tony Award nominee J. Smith-Cameron (Our Country’s Good, Succession) and The Magicians’ Jason Ralph will appear in a December 9 performance of Waterwell’s The Courtroom, with Kathleen Chalfant (Novenas For A Hospital, Homeland) once again returning to the production. Joining the trio are frequent The Courtroom performers Happy Anderson, Hanna Cheek, Michael Bryan French, Mick Hilgers, Linda Powell, and Kristin Villanueva.

The reading, helmed by Waterwell Artistic Director Lee Sunday Evans, uses verbatim transcripts arranged by Tony nominee Arian Moayed (Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo). The performance will take place at Great Hall at The Cooper Union in New York City’s East Village.

The Courtroom follows the story of a Philippines immigrant whose removal proceeding was set in motion after they married a U.S. citizen while on a visa, inadvertently registered to vote, and then participated in the next election.

The production has featured a rotating cast throughout the year with several Broadway stars participating—in October, Tony winner Stephanie J. Block (The Cher Show) appeared in a performance alongside three-time Tony nominee Brian d’Arcy James (Something Rotten!). Ruthie Ann Miles appeared in a January production alongside Chalfant.

The novel has been adapted by Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), and he will serve as the director on the project. Iain Reid also served as a co-producer on the project and has been given a writing credit for his work on the novel. Composing the music for the project is Jay Wadley (Tales of the City), while Lukasz Zal (Ida) worked on Cinematography

While Jake and his girlfriend are on a road trip to meet his parents, Jakes’s girlfriend is struggling with figuring out how to break up with him. When Jake takes an unexpected detour, it leaves her stranded.

Warning: This post contains spoilers from The Magicians season 4 finale. Read at your own risk! 

One question has loomed over The Magicians since season 4’s seventh episode: Who is in the Underworld elevator? At the end of episode 7, titled “The Side Effect,” Penny-40 (Arjun Gupta), who was working for “Secrets Taken to the Grave,” greeted someone he knew as they got off the elevator, implying that one of the SYFY fantasy drama’s main characters was going to die in the near future. Well, we finally know it is…

In the season 4 finale, titled “No Better to be Safe Than Sorry,” the Brakebills gang successfully expelled the murderous ancient monsters from Julia (Stella Maeve) and Eliot’s (Hale Appleman) bodies and bottled them up. To permanently rid the world of the monsters, Quentin, Alice (Olivia Taylor Dudley), and Penny-23 had to travel to the mirror world and throw them in the Seam, the space between worlds. This is The Magicians, though, so there was obviously another twist waiting for them.

Below, EW chats with Ralph about Quentin’s death, keeping his exit from the series from the entire cast until this past weekend, and what he’ll miss about the show.

EW

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So are you actually leaving the show? 
JASON RALPH: Yes, this is the closing of Quentin Coldwater’s journey on The Magicians.

How did your exit come about? Was it your decision, the producers’, or a combination? 
It’s funny, it all felt kind of natural when we started talking about it before the season started. [The show] starts with this person who is really questioning his worth in the world and if life is even worth living. And the journey of him in the show, and in the books, is him coming to the realization that it is, just maybe not in the way that he always expected. It’s kind of a story about a person who always wanted to be the main character of the story [realizing] that he’s not and finding a way to be okay with that and finding his own place inside of the world, and [learning] there really are no heroes, not in the real world anyway and confronting the disappointing reality of that. That’s naturally where we ended up finding Quentin at the top of the season and engraining those lessons through it. READ FULL INTERVIEW

Below, showrunners John McNamara, Sera Gamble and Henry Alonso Myers talk about Quentin’s departure — his portrayer Jason Ralph will not return as a series regular in Season 5 — and what comes next for Q’s friends.

TV LINE

TVLINE | So this is the last we see of Quentin?
JOHN MCNAMARA | This is the last we see of Quentin, although you’ve seen The Magicians…
HENRY ALONSO MYERS | He may appear in other forms.
MCNAMARA | Yeah, but this is the last you will see of Jason playing Quentin. And I’m not being coy. As far as we’re concerned at the moment, it’s the last we’ll see of Quentin. READ FULL INTERVIEW

TV GUIDE

Before we began this season, we entered into a creative conversation that included the writers, executive producer and director Chris Fisher, Lev Grossman, our partners at UCP and SYFY, and Jason Ralph. The choice for Jason to leave the show was arrived at mutually, with much respect for the story, fans of the show, and a shared sense of deliberate, essential creative risk. We want The Magicians to visit strange and fascinating new places, and we know we can’t get there by treading the same garden path others have before us. So, we did the thing you’re not supposed to do — we killed the character who’s supposed to be ‘safe.’ In real life, none of us are safe.” READ FULL INTERVIEW
