Welcome to all Dark Shadows Fans!
Welcome
to Dark Shadows fans from "the most evil lady who ever lived" -- or at least that's how I was referred to when I was playing Eve on DS. I've gotten to know many of you through the DS Festivals, but I know there are some who can't get to these wonderful weekends, or worse yet, don't know anything about them. I hope to fill that gap and to keep our regular Festival-goers up to date with this Web site.You'll see updates on Festival and personal appearances including photos with my co-stars and fans, my theatrical scrapbook with stories and photos of many theatre productions, and my photography gallery (I'm also a professional photographer.)

My career memoir, On Stage & In Shadows was published in 2005, and is available on Barnes&Noble.com and Amazon.com.It can also be purchased at your favorite bookstore or at our Festivals. And, there's a fabulous special offer, that you'll find as you read on.

It's always been such fun to see our faithful fans at the Festivals, and now it's great to be in touch with all of you through my Web site.
Hope you enjoy it.

 September 20th EAT Benefit Concert

I am on the benefit committee for Emerging Artists Theatre, (the non-profit theatre group where I played in "The Chiselers" and "Where's Sheila"), and we have great plans for September 20th. We're having a catered party/concert and it will take place from 6-9 pm at the Prince George Ballroom at the Prince George Hotel.

Additional artists will be announced.

July, 2010 Dark Shadows Fest
was the BEST!!!

I'll be posting lots of photos soon (the above is from a former Fest but it's so cute, I dont mind leaving it up for a while longer.)

Many wonderful old fans (not in age, but in years coming to the festivals) were there, and at least 40% or more were NEW fans, or first-time Festival goers. It was at the Marriott Burbank Convention Center,
in, of course, beautiful downtown Burbank.

Jonathan Frid during Q&A 

 Lara Parker with me

Dark Shadows Festivals get better and better each year - that's what all the fans tell me, and I think so too!
Our last one was in 2009, on August 14, 15 & 16th at the
Renaissance Newark Airport Hotel
in beautiful, downtown Elizabeth, New Jersey
I was there along with Jonathan Frid, Lara Parker, Kathryn Leigh Scott, John Karlen, and Jerry Lacy.
We had planned to have Donna Wandrey there, but I'm sorry to say that she ended up with a terrible
summer cold and wasn't able to be there. She was disappointed, and we actors and her fans were equally so.
But those of us who were there had a glorious time.

Theatrical

In 2008, I was in the production of Mark Finley's "The Chiselers" for the Emerging Artists Theatre's SPRING EATFEST 2009

I played the marvelous character of Beverly Carstairs and had a wonderful director, Melissa Attebery, who guided us through the production with great expertise. We did our last performance on Saturday, March 7th, and I was sorry to see it end. But we had a lovely packed house, with many DS fans, and we all had a great time.

 The SuperMegashow
& COMIC FEST

Saturday,
July 12, 2008

It was their 10th anniversary! And to celebrate, they moved to a new larger location in the Wayne NJ area at the Crowne Plaza Fairfield NJ RT 46 east next to Willbrook mall. I joined Larry Storch (F Troop, Adam West (BatMan) Julie Newmar (CatWoman)and Eric Estrada (Chips) on Saturday.
 

     


Larry Storch and Stiller & Meara and Me

  I recently had the pleasure of being filmed for an upcoming documentary about Larry Storch. It was a fun day and I have a few photos to show that enjoyment. Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller also were interviewed that day and they were delightful. Larry, as always, kept me laughing all day.

My friend, Larry Storch, (Corporal Agarn, of F Troop), just sent me this copy of a photo of us when we were rehearsing for a production of I Oughta Be in Pictures. It was in 1981 at The Hampton Playhouse in Hampton, New Hampshire. We had such a marvelous time doing that show. There are lots of stories about it in my book, On Stage & In Shadows.




I'm happy to say that the sale of my memoirs is going very well. And once again at the 2009 Festival, because there were so many new fans, and fans that haven't been to a Fest for 10 years, I almost ran out of copies. And for all of you that already had read the book, thank you for the wonderful comments about my book.

Sleeps Well With Others

My friend and one of my editors, Michael Karol, has written yet another book. It's a prequel to the 2003 gay vampire hit Kiss Me, Kill Me.

Ray Abreu, the hero of Kiss Me, Kill Me, is back -- as a gay youngster, growing up in a repressed small town and feeling the pain...that is, until he gets sent by his parents to an all-male sleepaway camp in the Adirondack Mountains in upper New York State. There, Ray experiences a gradual flowering and realization of his homoerotic feelings, and grows from a shy, retiring boy into a person who can stand up for himself. But he's unaware of the deadly presence "standing up" for him behind the scenes. This unique prequel is spiked with sex, thrills, and chills -- but then, whose adolescence isn't?
