Calendar Events / Announcements '03 I / Animated Film w/Selby Receives Award
« on: January 29, 2003, 12:15:56 AM »
West Virginia Public Broadcasting's animated film The Griffin and the Minor Canon, for which David Selby provided the voice of the Griffin, received the Best of Show award at the annual conference of the National Educational Telecommunications Association earlier this month in San Antonio, Texas. Brad Stalnaker, the film's animator and co-producer, was on hand to accept the award.

Meanwhile, the word from Chicago is that temperatures have been so cold recently that they are causing problems with the cameras for the location shoots for Surviving Christmas, the upcoming Ben Affleck/Christina Applegate film in which David Selby will also appear. Local media reports indicate that at least one shooting location was abandoned altogether on Monday due to the frigid temperatures.

Calendar Events / Announcements '03 I / Change of Venue for Selby Play -- Slight Date Change too
« on: January 26, 2003, 08:46:42 PM »
David Selby's play, Final Assault, was scheduled to be the first performance in the Walker Theatre of the new Clay Center in Charleston, West Virginia.

On Saturday, the Charleston Gazette reported that the Clay Center, which was originally scheduled to open next month, will not be ready to open until May. Therefore, David's play will be moved to the Capitol Center Theatre, unless, of course, the Clay Center turns out to be ready in April.

David has filmed a small role in a film titled Topanga Canyon. No release date is currently available. In fact, very little information is available other than that he's in the film and the film is in post-production, but there you have it. You heard it here first. :D

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 II / Bored? How about Some Fun with Applets?
« on: December 12, 2002, 08:25:43 AM »
Everyone else is bored because DS isn't airing now. I don't have that excuse because I don't get Sci-Fi.

My excuse is that I am sick of grading all these student papers, so I have been goofing around with Bob's Seaview photo. If your web browser is capable of handling java applets, you'll be able to see this. If not, tough stuff.

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 II / Review of Mame in Backstage.com
« on: November 13, 2002, 02:23:04 PM »
I've added a link to the Backstage.com review of Mame to my site.

As with the L.A. Times review, this one is devoted to comparing the two simultanenous productions in the area, favoring the Musical Theatre West version over the Cabrillo Music Theatre, with one notable exception:

With one exception, the individual performances at MTW are also more effective. Cabrillo's David Selby plays Mame's Southern-gentleman husband Beauregard Burnside with an irresistible Rhett Butler flair, while MTW's Amick Byram (a late replacement for Perry Stephens) proves capable but not charismatic.

If you'd like to read the whole review, you'll find a link on my site.

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 II / Mame Review in LA Times
« on: November 06, 2002, 05:49:28 PM »
This morning's edition of the LA Times includes a review of the productions of Mame that opened this past weekend in Thousand Oaks and Long Beach. The reviewer clearly prefers the Long Beach version with Carol Lawrence and Sally Struthers, but David Selby does get a passing mention for his appearance in the Thousand Oaks production staged by Cabrillo Music Theatre.

I've added a link to my David Selby site.

Calendar Events / Announcements '02 II / Slightly OT: Mame Article
« on: October 31, 2002, 08:46:09 PM »
This might be interesting for anyone who's planning to see David Selby in Mame this week or next week in Thousand Oaks, California.

The Ventura County Star ran a profile piece on Amanda McBroom in today's issue. She'll be playing the title role, and she's most famous for writing the song "The Rose," but, frankly, I think her greatest contribution to the world was doing voice work on The Smurfs. :P

You'll find a link to the article, which mentions neither David Selby nor smurfs (more's the pity), on my David Selby site.

Addition to original message: The Thousand Oaks Acorn also ran a piece today about McBroom and Mame. I've added a link to that to my site as well.
