The Recording Session

© 2003 The day after Dark Shadows cast members reunited to perform Return to Collinwood at the 2003 Dark Shadows Festival, they met at a recording studio in New York City to record the play. (A CD released is planned soon.) Click here for more information about Return to Collinwood. On September 1, 2003, David Selby, Nancy Barrett, Lara Parker, Kathryn Leigh Scott, John Karlen, Marie Wallace, James Storm, Donna Wandrey, Roger Davis, Chris Pennock, and Terry Crawford brought the Dark Shadows story into the twenty-first century, and (with my trusty digital camera), I was lucky enough to be there. Like the atmosphere of a TV or movie set, there was a lot of waiting. The actors were summoned into the sound booth in groups, and the play was recorded scene by scene (as opposed to a start-to-finish run-through), because some actors needed to leave sooner than others. I spent most of the afternoon in the waiting room, where the actors traded amusing stories about their careers and chatted. Click the thumbnails below to see larger images and read captions.
