Celebrity Stage Reading of the Masks

From the New York Comic Con mailing list, I got the following:

"First up, our friends at NYC's Paley Center are hosting a celebrity stage reading of The Twilight Zone's "The Masks" on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:30PM. Presented in association with Food For Thought Productions, The Paley Center's live reading will feature Lucie Arnaz, Laurence Luckinbill, Katharine Luckinbill, Robert Walden, and Fritz Weaver in front of the audience and is directed by Antony Marsellis. Anne Serling, daughter of Rod Serling, will also speak at the event. Tickets are available at www.paleycenter.org and are $50 for the general public, but you can get tickets for half off -- only $25 -- by entering code "comiccon". the Paley Center is located at 25 West 52 Street in NYC."

I won't be there, but it sounds really cool. Fritz Weaver appeared in a few Twilight Zone episodes. He played Sturka in "Third from the Sun," and the Chancellor in "The Obsolete Man." Lucie Arnaz is the daughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz of I Love Lucy. Plus her parents' production company was responsible for The Desilu Westinghouse Playhouse which her father also hosted. Rod Serling's "The Time Element" appeared on that show nearly a year before The Twilight Zone began. Then, of course, there's Anne Serling-Sutton. She's one of Rod Serling's daughters. She has a new book out about her and her father.

So, if you have a chance to attend, this event sounds neat.
