Fox has released the schedule for May. The full press release is on Spoiler TV. Here is what happens in Eric’s episode:

Tuesday, May 10
GLEE (8:00-9:01 PM ET/PT) – “Prom Queen”
When the entertainment for prom falls through, Principal Figgins (guest star Iqbal Theba) asks New Directions to perform at the dance much to prom coordinator Sue’s dismay. Things get heated as the competition for prom king and queen draws closer, and Jessie St. James (guest star Jonathan Groff) returns.

Unrelated to Glee, MF Magazine did an interview with Kate Connor and Andy Hirsch at the Sonoma Film Festival, where Fort McCoy was screened 10 days ago. The clip is on YouTube. Also on YouTube, there is a short clip from the Grace of My Heart Q&A. Looks like Eric wasn’t there after all. Fun clip, though.

Eric is still working on Glee and several people have tweeted that he is directing the prom episode (see tweets from this guy, for instance). If that’s the case, it’s episode 2.20 and it will air on May 10.

Cory Monteith has posted another pic from the set (embedded):

Meanwhile, there aren’t any reports from the Fort McCoy screenings in Houston, but there is a new interview with Kate Connor on the Houston Public Radio site. The film was shown there last Friday and there is another screening tomorrow, so if you’re in the area, you can still catch it.

Last not least, Allison Anders tweets that Eric will be at the Grace of My Heart Q&A/screening on Saturday.

Fort McCoy will be shown at the Sonoma Film Festival on April 10. For showtimes and venues, go to the festival’s site.

There is a new review of the film at Sonoma News:

Frank Stirn, played excellently by Eric Stoltz who also produced the film, is a barber in 1944 who cannot join the military due to a heart murmur. Desperately seeking a way to still serve his country, he moves his family to Fort McCoy, a POW camp that is home to thousands of Germans and Japanese soldiers. The strongly character driven film offers a snapshot of daily life on the base, where the prisoners seem to run freely as they are consistently wandering into the Stirn’s home, panicking Frank’s wife and children.
