A long-gestating stage musical from rock musician John Mellencamp and horror author Stephen King will open in April 2009 at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre ahead of a possible Broadway run.
Mellencamp wrote the score for "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County," while King wrote the script.
The story, set in rural Mississippi in 1957, revolves around two brothers who hate each other. Their father takes them to a cabin where they used to vacation as children.

Kelvin Sampson met with his athletic director Friday, and the Hoosiers then held a team meeting, heightening the possibility Indiana will soon have a new coach.
The university was expected to announce later in the day whether Sampson would keep his job after an investigation found he committed five major NCAA recruiting violations.
Athletic director Rick Greenspan met briefly with Sampson. A few minutes after Greenspan left the coach's office, Sampson walked down a ramp with his wife, Karen.
Players, managers, assistant coaches and the coach's son, Kellen Sampson, then gathered in the locker room for what appeared to be a team meeting. No one would comment to reporters, including senior captain D.J. White. The meeting broke up about midday.

"The new owners of Indianapolis' Adam's Mark Hotel intend to spend $18 million on renovations -- and it won't be an Adam's Mark for much longer.
Chartres Lodging Group of San Francisco, which announced the purchase Friday, did not elaborate on its planned overhaul of the 406-room Southwestside hotel, which will occur over the next 18 months.
But a 'rebranding' is planned by Chartres, which formerly was known as Oxford Lodging Advisory & Investment Group.
Chartres acquired five Adam's Mark hotels from HBE Corp. of St. Louis and is retooling the others, too. Adam's Mark hotels in Denver and Dallas each will become Sheratons, and an Adam's Mark in St. Louis will become a Hyatt Regency."

Workers were told of the decision Monday morning by site leader Frank Foley. And they were told layoffs would begin in March, according to the press release."
"Former Indiana Rep. David McIntosh, who had been an advisor to Fred Thompson's presidential campaign, is now backing Mitt Romney for the GOP nomination.
McIntosh said Romney 'has the vision to bring true conservative change to Washington and strengthen our economy.'
McIntosh had been volunteering with Thompson's campaign, helping pull together experts and proposals on various domestic policy issues. Thompson withdrew from the race last week after failing to catch fire with GOP voters."
"Indiana seeks to remove hundreds of mercury and PCB-tainted waterways from a statewide list of impaired waters -- including several Lake Michigan tributaries – in a move to free the state of a federal mandate to restore them.
Using new methodology, Indiana's Department of Environmental Management proposes to delete more than 800 stream and river segments from the list, even as state regulators warn the public that contamination makes fish from those waters unsafe to eat.
The proposed methodology would no longer determine a waterway's impairment based on the existence of fish consumption advisories, a measure the U.S. EPA has determined meets the intent of the federal Clean Water Act."
