Hello, Dark Shadows Fan,

ShadowGram (SG), The Official Newsletter & News Source for Dark Shadows (DS), announces the following breaking news in this Online News Update "bulletin."

---- CHRIS PENNOCK IN STAGED READING
---- JOHNNY DEPP INTERVIEW ON CNN-LARRY KING THIS WEEKEND
---- DS AT NEW YORK COMIC CON

**** CHRIS PENNOCK IN FREE DRAMATIC STAGED READING ON OCT. 29

Chris (Jeb, Sebastian, Cyrus/John, Gabriel) often has provided SG with information about his staged readings, play appearances, and other projects.

Here are excerpts from the press release for an upcoming staged reading.in which he reprises the role of "Don" in SHADES.

It is "a timely and double award-winning play about how America's wars disrupt individuals, families, and friendships..... (It) deals with secrets about grief and longing and about how the aftermath of `good' and `bad' wars affects people who love each other, especially when their politics are at opposite poles from each other and when long-buried family conflicts flare up: Are they driven apart, or will they find ways to stay close? It is also about how war's effects depend partly on a person's race and sex and about what it means today to be an American and, even more, to be a `good American.'"

SHADES will be presented Sat., Oct. 29, at the Ruskin Group Theatre, located at 3000 Airport Ave. in Santa Monica, CA. There is no charge for admission, but space is limited, so please call 760-404-1723 to reserve seats.

Sam pulled the ol' gotta-go-to-the-kitchen-for-more-booze ruse to make his escape.

Mr. Wells: “House rules, them that puts in, gets out--nobody else.”
Shouldn’t that be them that puts out gets in? Heh, heh…

LOL!

Mr. Wells has begun the process of dissolution.   He's now listed in the credits as "Hotel Clerk".   Maybe the name is always the first to go, when you're fading from the world of DS.

Maybe the sheriff should hold an Inn-quest?
(Ulp, I can't stop punning.)
