When it was announced that Zachary Quinto was doing theater again, and performing "The Glass Menagerie" by American Repertory Theatre in Boston during the winter, fans from all over were terribly excited about the news.
Luckier ones were able to head to the city of Boston to watch the play while less luckier ones (like moi) just had to content with soaking in the ZQ flurry, digitally.
Although, if you had been one of those taking photos during curtain call, you would have been the subject of Zach's wrath.
Being a frequent theatre goer, it is a really rude thing to do, and despite his manner of tweet (I hardly found it insulting - because people who don't show others respect, don't deserve any in my books.), that tweet caused a furor from self-entitled people everywhere.
Ahhh... the internet. Where trolls love crawling out from the woodwork and into forums.
Anyway, on a happier note, a bunch of ZQC-ers managed to make it to the play despite that horrible blizzard that was swirling around the East Coast of USA in February.
Here's Lindsay's report on that fateful weekend:
So, I just realized it's Superbowl today.
But yesterday in Boston, it was a different kind of kick-off.
Together with two-time Tony award-winning actress Cherry Jones, Celia Keenan-Bolger and Brian J. Smith, our fave bb Zachary Quinto led the preview of American Repertory Theatre's "The Glass Menagerie" at the Loeb Drama Center.
As most of us know, Zach loves flexing his acting biceps on stage and doing plays. This time, he has taken up the role of a frustrated son, Tom Wingfield, in Tennessee Williams' play.
(Check out the previously reported blog post on "The Glass Menagerie" here.)
It's obvious that Zachary Quinto loves the theatre.
After his successful run off-broadway at Signature Theatre's "Angels in America" last year, I am not surprised he is eager to get back on stage again.
When Zach met some fans at the recent Hollywood Short Film Festival, he mentioned in passing that he was going to be in Boston for a play in early 2013.
This time it would be "The Glass Menagerie" (written by Tennessee Williams) with the American Repertory Theatre (A.R.T.) that also features Emmy Award-winner Cherry Jones ("24", "Awake"). Actor Fran Krantz ("Dollhouse", "Cabin In The Woods") also mentioned he had auditioned for the play with both Cherry and Zach, and I think he will also be in the production.
