I Finally Met Nigel Bennett!

Today I caught the last performance of Neptune Theatre's play Closer, starring my 2nd favorite vampire, Nigel Bennett. Nigel played "Lucien LaCroix" in Forever Knight, alongside Geraint Wyn Davies. He's also the 'bad guy' in Lexx and has been in lots of shows and movies such as Nikita and The Outer Limits. He usually plays bad guys and vampires but in person he's just a sweetie!

An Evening with Dylan Thomas - Stranger in Paradise Written and Directed by Leon Pownall. Unfortunately, even though I did have front row tickets to this play, the tradition did not continue this year. Me, Chris, and Echo didn't go, but I hear it was awesome.

Yet another wonderful evening with Ger! He performed right here in MY town a 2nd year in a row!! He once again played Dylan Thomas at the Atlantic Theater Festival in Wolfville, Nova Scotia!!
This play was called In Envy of Some Greatness and it was amazing! And I got to meet my favourite actor
again. Life is good. Just as the year before, I went to the play with my friend Echo and my boyfriend, Chris. Life is good. It's very very good. :-)
Here I am with Ger, click on the picture for a larger view.

BLACK HARBOUR UNPLUGGED

a dream comes true
"Thank you Ger!"
Sept. 14, 98:
Yes I finally met 'Nicholas' in person! and
oh what a memorable night! Now I know you want to hear all about Black
Harbour Unplugged and get the juicy details, but honestly I'm exhausted
-- started my last year of university last week and
it's taking alot of my time and energy. This is the account
of the evening you'll get from me online (more in person over a cup of coffee,
I promise!). There are other reports of the same event on other fans'
web sites if you are interested. Check his fan club site, GWDFC for more info.
I took the time to have these precious pix scanned and I put them
up right away!
Throughout the evening there were a
number of chances for me to walk up to him but I am SO painfully shy that
I didn't approach him once. I was simply content to have him walk right
past me a few times and to enjoy his presence -- not to mention we had
front row seats and I swear from that close I almost thought I could
reach out and touch him! Even at the intermission when he mingled with
the folks outside and in the lobby, I was too shy to say a word of hello
to him (which my boyfriend found quite amusing).
After the show the nice lady who'd been sitting next to me comes up
to me and asks if I want to meet Ger..before I could even think twice she's
leading me outside and next thing I know she's brought me to him and is
introducing us! As I'll explain more in the account to be posted later,
she is a recurring extra on BH and we struck up a conversation as we were
waiting in line before the show. She was kind and quite happy to make sure
I didn't leave that night without meeting Ger! I am VERY grateful to her,
goes without saying! :-)
Ger was wonderful, all smiles..and he signed my poster (I asked to have
a BH Unplugged poster from their bulletin boards as a 'souvenir') and he
posed for 2 pictures. Rebecca Jenkins was also outside at the time and
she was very nice, too -- signed my poster and posed for a picture. Oh
and I also met 'Aggie', (Mary Colin-Chisolm) and 'Brenda'. And maybe you
didn't know about their invited guests, Tom Gallant and Larraine Segato
(Parachute Club, an 80's band). I had no idea that Rebecca Jenkins used
to sing in the Parachute Club. Oh and one other thing, Joe Ziegler (Len)
couldn't be there, they didn't say why.
Well if you wanna know more, email me - But for now let me just say the highlight, other
than spending a whole evening with Ger!, was when Rebecca sang "The
Water is Wide" at the end, I had tears in my eyes as I'm sure did most
of the audience. What a riveting performance it was. Wait now, no maybe
the highlight was at the beginning when Ger and Rebecca sang a spoof of
BH, or maybe it was when Ger introduced the first act as someone 'known
by many, loved by few, our own Rebecca Jenkins!' and then he laughed and
said 'oh no no no that's not what I meant ... err, loved by ALL!' anyway
the whole night they carried on like that, it was fun to watch.
