Oops - sorry about that. It's in New York.

The play house it's in looks like a barn. Reminds me of one of those Judy and Mickey movies. Oh Aunt Such and So... let's have a play.... Center for the Performing Arts website.

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one woman in her time plays many parts...

Apparently, there were preview performances on March 25 and 26 at the Merritt Bookstore in Millbrook. Hall was scheduled to give a talk and participate in a Q&A session following both performances.

Wow. I'd love to hear more about this. Many thanks, MB, for the post.

I'm going to take this opportunity to also suggest that posters who wish to advertise their own sites in their posts are welcome to do so, but tacking it onto a message that doesn't discuss the site takes up server space, yet this can be avoided if they'd put the invitation/advertisement in their signature instead.

For More Info about the Center sponsoring the play:

The Center's web site organization leaves something to be desired. If you visit the home page and scroll down the page and click on the News link (I'll include a direct link here, but this page will leave you stranded if you enter the site through it), you can read the media release for War Games, in which Sam Hall is credited with "creating Dark Shadows."

Don't tell Dan.

Well, perhaps DC wrote Sam's bio.

My faith in the discipline of reporting plumets even further . . .a few minutes online would've verified a few facts. . .

Damn right!!!

Damn right!!! I second that 100%!!!

That must have been going on all the times Barnabas and Julia were left at the old house and we were taken to another scene somewhere else and missed out on all that action at the old house.
