Fayetteville Observer's Rodger Mullen - Questions for Mindy Cohn?

So great to see Rodger Mullen of The Fayetteville Observer blogging about Bell, Book and Candle! As Rodger says, Facts of Life fans--now's your chance!

Some amazing facts about The Facts of Life:
--It was the longest running sitcom of the 1980s
--the show was on the air for 9 seasons: 1979-1988
--there are 209 episodes and three reunion movies
--the series was nominated for Emmys and won a TV Land Icon Award in 2011

Who can sing along with the theme song? (This is the George Clooney season of the show during the "Over Our Heads" years):

Mindy Cohn ("The Facts of Life", "Scooby Doo") joins BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE!

So thrilled that Mindy Cohn will be playing Aunt Queenie in Judson Theatre Company's production of John Van Druten's classic comedy Bell, Book and Candle! Earlybird ticket prices are in effect through Oct 15 at www.JudsonTheatre.com.

Next up at Judson Theatre Company - BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE!

Judson Theatre Company's (www.JudsonTheatre.com) next production is John Van Druten's magical romantic comedy Bell, Book and Candle!

Check out our logo:

After years of being rarely produced at the professional level, several high-profile regional theatre companies have staged the play over the past few years. We put it on Judson Theatre Company's audience survey this past spring--and sure enough, our wonderful patrons didn't let me down. When BB&C showed up as one of the most popular plays on the survey, we took it as a sign: the time to do it is now!

In addition to being a fan of underappreciated playwright John Van Druten, I've always particularly loved Bell, Book and Candle.  It's truly a magical play--a comedy of charm.  Van Druten wrote the stage plays I Remember Mama, The Voice of the Turtle (which ran for three seasons on Broadway), Old Acquaintance (probably best known as a movie) and I am a Camera (which was one of the sources for the musical Cabaret). Van Druten directed the original Broadway production of The King and I, as well as directing the original Broadway production of Bell, Book and Candle.

I first saw a community theatre production of the play when I was a child, which made me track down the Jimmy Stewart/Kim Novak/Jack Lemmon movie on VHS (it was a long time ago!). Through the years I've seen several professional productions, and finally, it's all culminating in a chance to work on this wonderful show. Hope you'll be there so we can share this show together.

It's November 7-10 only at Owens Auditorium in Pinehurst, and tickets and info are at JudsonTheatre.com.

Goodbye to THE TWO-CHARACTER PLAY!

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL on The Two-Character Play

Friends, please read this beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent appreciation of The Two-Character Play in The Wall Street Journal. I continue to be astonished by all the things people see in our play.

"The theater that I care about," said Mr. Kluger, "forces me out of my comfort zone so that I can crack my shell a bit."

Sensational blog review sums up THE TWO-CHARACTER PLAY

Imagine! I was afraid that if we mounted The Two-Character Play off-Broadway, people might not "get" it...well, in addition to The New York Times, The New York Post, USA Today and all the other terrific reviews, blog reviews like this one by Aaron Botwick on Scribicide keep popping up.  It warms my notoriously cold heart to know that people are absolutely "getting" the play--and writing about it so eloquently.  Thank you, Aaron. http://scribicide.com/2013/08/05/locked-doors/ 

And if you're reading this, the producer in me has to say: have you got your tickets yet?
