Based on actual events, Moonchild "examines the relationship between a
young, broke and struggling L. Ron Hubbard and the brilliant,
half-crazed rocket scientist Jack Parsons, a Satanist and disciple of
the infamous Aleister Crowley," according to press materials.
"Playwright Maureen FitzGerald speculates on how a meeting between two
of the twentieth century's most controversial figures led to the birth
of a multi-million dollar empire."

Hubbard founded the Church of Scientology, an organization many have
described as a cult, but which boasts as members several major Hollywood
actors.

Also in the cast are Jonathan Cantor, Davis Hall, Mardie Millit, Andrew
Shulman and Abby Wathen.

Hubbard's career was also the inspiration of the Obie Award-honored 2003
musical A Very Merry Unauthorized Children’s Scientology Pageant.

Tickets are $15. Call (212) 279-4488 or visit www.fringenyc.org.

Heather Tom, recently of Broadway's Prymate, will star in Moonchild, a
new play written by Maureen FitzGerald and directed by Alex Lippard,
which will be part of the New York International Fringe Festival. It
will run Aug. 14-28 at the Access Theater, 380 Broadway between White
and Walker Streets.

Ha, they stole this from "The Profit," didn't they? What do you think,
Mark Bunker?

And multi-*billion* dollar, surely. Let's give the devil its due.

Oh, those are mutually exclusive? Tilt. Cruise, Travolta, Alley,
Elfman, Corea -- I don't know, who or what else is a Scientology
celeb? -- are hard core cultists. They're about as cultist as cultists
can be.

Later in the series, they'll do the Hubbah the Job surrounded by the
vestal hotpanters segment.

You bet. Sign me up. Hubbard's career was the inspiration of all
sorts of people fighting for their lives.

This is great news! I remember Heather Tom from "The Nanny," that hit TV
show. If she does well, perhaps she can play the role in the film too?

Maybe we can all get together up in NY and see this together? If we buy a
block of tickets there is sure to be some kind of discount. OSA handlers
will have to get their own seats ...
