It is very unlikely Jonathan will accept even a Cameo Role. While always gracious to DS fans, he always tries to distance himself from the show. During a performance of his "Reader's Theater" in Chicago several years ago, Jonathan mentioned his involvement with DS. Then he reminded us that dwelling in the past is "unhealthy" and of course, there was yours truly with a Dark Shadows Concordance, waiting for an autograph and picture with my idol. He pointed to me as if to use me as an example, then chuckled. Later, he greeted me warmly, posed with me for a picture and autographed my concordance. The August Fest will be the first time I have seen him since that memorable evening.
