Once a year theatre professionals, actors, stage managers, stage hands, dramatists, volunteers, retailers, theatre managers, etc pull their resources and hold a big ole yard sale for charity! The annual Broadway Flea Market benefits Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.
At this year's flea market (last weekend) I managed to have a Star Trek fueled geek-gasm. At the Love, Loss, and What I Wore booth they were selling autographed playbills, posters, etc from the show's long celebrity filled run. Of course, Kate Mulgrew was in the show for a stint last year. That's right! Star Trek Voyager's own Captain Janeway was in an Off Broadway show. Unfortunately I was out of town during her time in the show so I didn't get to see her. But thanks to the flea market now I have her autograph! Amazing, right? Hopefully she'll come back to the big apple soon and do another show so I can finally see her in person. She's just amazing-- so tallented!
Kate's sig wasn't the only bit of Trek at the Broadway Flea Market. There was a book booth that randomly had some Star Trek TNG coloring & activity books from 1997! Hilarious, right? Of course I had to have them. I'm not sure if I should color them and recapture my youth, save them to give to some awesome kid (a niece/nephew or child of a friend) one day-- or just save them as collectable. In any case, I'll totally scan them in and share soon!
