'Guiding Light' Emmy Winner Ellen Parker to Star in "20th Century Blues"

Guiding Light alum Ellen Parker, who won an Emmy for her portrayal of Maureen Bauer on the iconic soap opera, is set to star in "20th Century Blues," the new play by Indie Series Award winner Susan Miller that is making its New York premiere in November. The 10-week limited engagement will begin November 12.

Directed by Tony nominee Emily Mann, "20th Century Blues" is described as follows:

A Ted Talk. A photo shoot. A test of friendship. And a bond that connects four women who meet once a year to have their pictures taken in a ritual that chronicles their changing (and aging) selves as they navigate through love, careers, children, and the complications of history. But, when these private photographs have the potential to go public, relationships are strained, forcing the women to confront who they are, what they’ve become, and how they’ll deal with whatever lies ahead. From the author of My Left Breast, Susan Miller’s 20th Century Blues is the sharply funny and evocative new play that questions our place in the world and with one another.

Also starring are Beth Dixon (The Good Wife), Helen Hayes Award winner Franchelle Stewart Dorn (‘Tis Pity She’s a Whore), Emmy nominee Polly Draper (thirtysomething), two-time Obie winner Kathryn Grody (Top Girls) and Charles Socarides (Sons of the Prophet).

Performances are scheduled through January 28, 2018. Tickets are available at 20thcenturyblues.com.

Nelson Aspen's "Full Circle" Arcs Its Way to LA

My roots in Daytime TV have always been such a source of pride and inspiration that I couldn't help but show them off in my cabaret show, "Full Circle," which got such a (happily!) great response last year, especially from friends and colleagues in the Soap world.

Since "Awards Season" demands my presence in Hollywood for much of January and February, I decided to bring the show along and share the love with my West Coast pals...and anyone else who wants a fun night of song and schmooze in a great venue, Bar Fedora. Friday, February 3 at 8 p.m. Don't be surprised if you happen to notice some familiar faces from Geona City, Salem or Port Charles!

I always think it's fun to share the stage with a guest star (most recently Search for Tomorrow and One Life to Live alums Anita Gillette and Shelly Burch), and for Hollywood I will welcome the insanely talented and glamorous Deven Green, whose rise to cult comedy Queen began with her "Welcome to My Home" parody videos of a certain Daytime Diva! Of course now she's known as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, an OCC Makeup fashionista/spokesperson and for viral fame as "America's Best Christian," Mrs. Betty Bowers.

If you're in the LA area, I hope you'll come and join our party next month. Seating is limited! http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1408379

For friends in Philadelphia, I'll see you there April 30 with Everybody Loves Raymond's much loved Monica Horan ("Amy").

Wishing you a healthy and fun 2017!
