2 Things

First.. was anyone able to make it to see Rachel's reading? If so, share your experience in the comments.

Secondly.. Just a reminder; if anything ever happens to Rachel's website where you can't get in or you see that it is down or anything, always check here on this blog to see if I have posted anything about it. I planned it that way - that her newsblog is on an entirely different server from the website. That way, if anything goes wrong, you can always come here and check the news. You can also come here to leave me a comment if there is an issue I might not be aware of at the time. I check things everyday to make sure, but I could still miss stuff.

So, bookmark this page! :)

Rachel Appearance

Free Reading at Ars Nova with SNL's Rachel Dratch
by BWW News Desk

Ars Nova (voted “Best of New York” by New York Magazine) and The Underwood Theater present, as part of the FREE Out Loud reading series, THE MISTAKES MADELINE MADE by Elizabeth Meriwether. Directed by Evan Cabnet and featuring Saturday Night Live’s Rachel Dratch, Zak Orth, Austin Lysy and Susan Pourfar, THE MISTAKES THAT MADELINE MADE will be read on Monday, March 28 at 7 PM at Ars Nova (511 West 54th Street).

Ablutophobia, the fear of bathing, becomes a problem for three personal assistants working in cramped quarters. An unlikely story of love and dirty people.

ELIZABETH MERIWETHER (Playwright). Her work has been developed at the Long Wharf Theatre, the Underwood Theatre, the Tank, Chashama Theatre, and the SoHo Playhouse. Nicky Goes Goth was produced as part of the New York International Fringe Festival 2004, and The True Love Story Of My Parents was produced as part of Vital Theatre's Vital Signs Festival. She is a member of Ensemble Studio Theatre's Youngblood writing collective and was commissioned by the Les Freres Corbusier theatre company to write Heddatron-- an adaptation of Hedda Gabler with live robots-- which will be produced spring 2006.

EVAN CABNET (Director). His recent credits include Masterpiece Theater (Ontological), Salman Rushdie’s Haroun and the Sea of Stories (Williamstown), and My Renaissance Faire Lady. Other credits include Lincoln Center Theater, Roundabout, NYC Opera, Signature, Flea, P. S. 122, and more. He is the recipient of the Boris Sagal and Bill Foeller Fellowships for Directing, Artist in Residence at the Ontological-Hysteric Theatre, and a member of the 2004/05 Soho Rep Writer/Director Lab.

Last Minute TV Alert, for So Cal Fans!

Late tonight (technically tomorrow morning) at 1 am on KLCS, the docmentary about Second City.. "Second to None".. will be aired! It was on last night and I'm sorry I missed it but I just got the heads-up today and luckily it will be repeated. Check your local listings to see what channel KLCS airs in your area. KLCS is a local channel so I'm afraid only Southern California will see it. But I suggest doing a search on your TV Guide website and see if maybe it is being shown through another station in your area.

Yet Another Update to the Front Page

rachel-dratch.com front page looks different again! ;) The product of several hours on my graphics program: a "Corkboard" for Rachel's site. The polaroids are the regular links, and then there are a few odds and ends - and some hidden links to some interesting sites! So, go check it out when you get a chance. :) And hurry, before I get another wild hair and decide to change it all again! ;-)

And, while you're out there cybering through space, please take a moment to stop by and say Hi to the folks over at "The Prestigious Welshly Arms"!

Don't forget.. Live SNL Tonight! :) David Spade! Should be good!

Hidden "easter egg"

Made a few changes/additions to Rachel's website.. one of them being a hidden link to an April 2003 pic and questionaire of Rachel from Jane Magazine. So, go to the website.. http://www.rachel-dratch.com and happy hunting! :) It's a quirky little questionaire and the photo is really cute!

Finds

Just a bit of news concerning the website. I'll be adding a few new links in the next day or so. One to an article I found- an interview she did last year with Electronic Gaming Monthly. Also some goodies from SNL Archives, SNL News Archive, and a bio from MSN, as well as a media clip from Second City.

Thanks to those who have been helping me find stuff. It's very appreciated! :)

I also found and won (on ebay) the April 2003 issue of Jane Magazine that has the full page article (questionaire) and picture of Rachel. When I recieve it and get my scanner set up, I'll scan and post it.
