Stephen Moyer's Brentwood Theatre Press release: Congratulating Anna and fundraiser

We received a very nice press release from lovely folks at Stephen Moyer's Brentwood Theater in England, congratulating Anna on winning the Golden Globe and reminding everyone that their fundraiser is still on going...

Press Release – for immediate release:
Brentwood Theatre congratulates ANNA PAQUIN - best known for winning an Oscar at the age of 11 for her role in THE PIANO and fo r playing Rogue in X-MEN – on her winning the 2009 Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Drama, HBO’s TRUE BLOOD. Ms. Paquin
plays Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic Louisiana waitress who falls for a vampire with a conscience.

And playing that vampire is Essex’s own STEPHEN MOYER, Patron of Brentwood Theatre!
Attending the ceremony with Ms. Paquin, Stephen commented, “I am so pleased
for Anna. This series has been so well received in America, and it is great that the critics recognise its impact. Last week, we started filming Season Two, which takes us through until
July.

I am hoping to return to Brentwood in April when TRUE BLOOD launches in the UK on The FX Channel.” TRUE BLOOD is a rather raunchy, utterly captivating story of vampires freely “living” among humans, thanks to the discovery of synthetic blood. Alan Ball – writer and creator of HBO’s acclaimed SIX FEET UNDER and Academy Award winning AMERICAN BEAUTY – dramatically adapted the popular Southern Vampire books written by Charlaine Harris, whose heroine’s supernatural abilities make her a target by all manner of night creatures.
Through Steve's Patronage of Brentwood Theatre, TRUE BLOOD fans have donated nearly four thousand pounds in two months - including a generous donation from author Charlaine
Harris. These kind gifts to “STEPHEN’s FUND” will be invested in the completion of the community facilities at the Theatre. The final fitting-out, including a new multi-purpose
community room, should be completed by Easter.

Before hitting the big-time, Steve was directed by Gaynor Wilson, who now runs youth group BOSSY, the first group to perform after the rebuilding with “FAME” -- which Stephen came along to see in November.

When asked about his protégé’s success, Gaynor said, “BOSSY are delighted for Steve on the success of TRUE BLOOD and send all of their good wishes for Season Two. The students can't wait to see it! Also, many congratulations to Steve’s co-star Anna Paquin on winning the Golden Globe!”

"The fantastic responses from their American fans and supporters is quite overwhelming. 'Stephen's Fund' will make such a difference to companies like BOSSY, who will be putting the new community room to such good use during production week for 'Ain't Life Good!' at the end of April… which we hope with any luck will coincide with Steve's return for the UK's 'True Blood' launch, so that he can see the show.”

BOSSY is the youth acting section of the Brentwood Operatic Society, comprised of boys and girls between the ages of 11-16 years who audition for participation. They are among forty-plus non-professional organizations that call Brentwood Theatre home. Naming a brick and/or obtaining a signed certificate from Stephen are still options!

Hi Dallas!

I just wanted to comment on the pics of SM you posted yesterday of him with his dog - it's a Springer Spaniel & I would guess a female from the size. They are generally smaller than the males. Anyway, it looks exactly like mine - the one I mentioned in my post yesterday on the Wiki re: in kennebunkport, ME. Very cool. They are wonderful dogs. Mr. Moyer has wonderful taste, not only in women, but in man's best friend as well! So, not only is he gorgeous, & can act, he's got those other things going for him too......(heavy sigh)...I will NOT miss this week's radio blog even if I have to drink 2 pots of coffee to stay awake for it! Looking forward to talking to you in person finally!
