Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,

REPORTS: STAGED READING
UPDATES: NEW PLAY

In SG Updates #209 and #210, Marie (Eve, Mad Jenny, Megan Todd)invited NYC-area fans to her 2-2 staged reading of "War Wounds." She reports there was a full house audience and it "went great."

She now updates her next acting project. She portrays "Lois" in "Where's Sheila?", a new play in the Series C part of the 2010 Spring EATfest at the TADA! Theatre, 15 W. 28th St., 2nd Floor, NYC 10001. www.eatheatre.org

The theatre is located between Broadway and 5th Ave. and the production runs 3-1/14. Shows are Thurs. and Sat. evenings plus Sun. afternoons. Tickets are $18 adults. $12 student/seniors.

EATfest showcases new playwrights and artists, presenting works in progress for audience response and feedback. Marie – and DS fans who attended – enjoyed her role in "The Chiselers" as part of last year's EATfest (see SG #114 and SG #115-#116).

Marie hopes DS fans will come see her onstage next month. She shares more of her news in the upcoming SG #117 print issue – she's been busy!

Kathleen Cody....That would be fun for my first fest.   However, I could ever bend Jim Pierson's ear I would ask why people involved in the 1991 version aren't invited or the 2004 pilot for that matter! My only qualm so far about the fest...

Very curious to find out what the "extra-special pre-convention event" is going to be.  Also looking forward to seeing Kathy Cody for the first time!

Actors from the '91 series attended several '90s Fests - but if I understand the thinking correctly (and this has come from some of the '91 series' stars themselves), they believe there's no interest in having them attend as fans are seemingly only interested in the original stars. I can't say I agree with that because I would love to see actors from the '91 series attend. But there you have it. And if there's a belief that there's no interest in having the '91 series' stars attend, well, it's pretty much a certainty that the same belief is held with regard to the '04 pilot's stars.  [snow_undecided]

As for Kathy Cody, I believe she was supposed to attend a past Fest but never showed. It would be great if she does indeed show up this time. But if history has taught us anything when it comes to the Fests, it's always best to consider the inclusion of some actors' names as hoped for appearances  (and "special" announcements as hoped for announcements) rather than as certainties...

Well I don't mean to be crude but when all the original pass then they may need some of the 1991 stars to fill the void!  I hate that the '91 stars feel that way! :( What a shame!

PS...my points went up dramatically! To whoever...thanks dahlings! :)

Perhaps there will be more of a feeling of acceptance when it comes to Depp's DS. One can only hope...

I don't know if this was posted elsewhere but if you have a AAA membership the cost of a room is $111.00 per night which is cheaper than the DS Festival rate of $129.00-the discount applies from Thursday through Sunday.

Sadly it looks as if I won't be able to attend this year.  I will for sure be @ the 2011 45th anniversary in NYC!

I am not 100% if I am going-I just booked the hotel and I can cancel several days before. Too bad you won't be going Taeylor but will see you in 2011 for sure.

I'm so disappointed to hear that, Taeylor, though I hope you have a great time in Philly.
