Jennifer posted it just on the planet-claire mailing-list: There are 2 photos of Tom Irwin (Graham Chase) and Claire Danes (well, duh, Angela Chase) online at http://www.filmmagic.com/GalleryListing ... s====71010

They are from the "After The Fall" Broadway Opening Night - After Party. Sadly, only small thumbnails are available.

Thats awesome. Perhaps as close as we've ever come to a "reunion"?

Actually, I think the 2000 Our Town reading was probably the closest we'll ever get - it was staged by Bess Armstrong, and Claire Danes played Emily, Tom Irwin played her father, Devon Gummersall played George, Paul Dooley played the Stage Manager, and Devon Odessa was spotted in the audience. There were also reports of AJ Langer and Jared Leto being there as well.

Thats an incredible link there candygirl. I had not heard that before. Is there any photos to be had, or otherwise any stories? I'll take a look around online.

An update....

I was very interested in the Our Town "reunion", but couldn't find any documentation of it online. So I decided to go to the horse's mouth. I tracked down the church, and emailed the administrator, asking if it happened, were there any pictures taken, etc.

I received a response!

"hi, joe...

this was fwd'ed on to me, as i was "overseeing" the reading... it indeed
did happen, but it was just a few years ago (the late fall of 2000 or '01 i
believe)... it also wasn't a fund raiser; no money was collected, it was a
free event (part of getting the rights). the actor bess armstrong was
actually responsible for "arm twisting" a bunch of her friends, two of which
were claire and devon.

also, no pictures were taken, as was promised to those who so generously
agreed to be a part of this amazing evening. no audio recording exists,
either.

so it was just pure theater. staged, performed, packed up, and gone.

but what an evening.

hope that helps,
