Class Act: Elizabeth Moss


Lizzie Moss did a nice interview with Playbill for their "Brief Encounters". What a classy gal.

Playbill.com: Has this experience in Speed-the-Plow scared you off Broadway, or would you return?
EM: I would absolutely return. If I could do a season of "Mad Men" and do a play every year in between for the next 20 years, I'd be very happy.
It's such a shame she's a Scientologist.

"Tax the Cult!"


This is awesome. The group "Anonymous" staged a world-wide day of protest against Scientology yesterday, speaking out against the church's tax-exempt status, and other issues concerning the extreme shadiness of the "religion". Moxie is very happy to see somebody really taking a stand against Scientology. Everybody seems to agree that they're ridiculous, but the group consistently squashes anyone who speaks out against them, which they can doubtless afford to do because the organization is swimming in cash, which only makes their tax-exempt status all the more whack.

Speaking of which, check out this totally bizarre story of two friends who were duped into a scientology pitch by a girl scout, with promises of free eco-friendly lightbulbs. SO ODD. Hmm, makes one wonder about the accusations of child labor.

We were walking back to BART from a gallery show when a cute little girl... asked us if we wanted a free CFL from, among other sources, the Sierra Club. All we had to do was pick it up inside the building behind us. "Sure," we said.

It got a little strange when she surreptiously pulled a phone out of her pocket and made a call. "I've got two!" she whispered.

Read the whole strange story here.

why is it so upsetting to me?

I have to just come out and talk about this. Did you SEE Katie Holmes on Letterman?!? Her face looks insane, and then there's the way she speaks, which seems like she's gone completely bananas.



The whole thing freaks me out. At moments, she almost looks like Lisa Rinna! Scientologists are crazy!!

Theater News: Les Freres, Sunday in the Park, Gypsy of the Month


-NYTW will present A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant, starting Nov. 29th. So exciting! Moxie missed it the first time around, and can't wait to see it again. Les Freres Corbusier does some amazing stuff (Heddatron knocked our socks off), and just look at that picture. [playbill]

-The London revival of Sunday in the Park With George is hoping to transfer to Broadway in fall of 2007. Producer David Babani said, "Nothing is signed, sealed and delivered yet, but we are very much in advanced discussions to make that happen." Check out the design concept:

The Pulitzer Prize-winning show is based on the pointillist masterpiece “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” by post-impressionist painter Georges Seurat... In the show, the cutting-edge technology brought Seurat’s work to life, allowing the figures in the painting to move around David Farley’s white-walled set. Bird and Farely received the Critics’ Circle’s Best Design Award for their work.

-The Gypsy of the Month Award has been given to Bernard Dotson, long-time ensemble member of Chicago. Moxie has had the pleasure of meeting Dotson several times, and he couldn't be a sweeter, more wonderful fellow. Kudos to him! [broadwayworld]
