Good luck, if you decide to bid on these items!
The Camp Wanatachi pledge drive met its goal and will be moving forward, thanks to the generous help of a number of people. Six people pledged enough for the half hour Skype conversation with Bridget. If any of you are out there, we’d love love love a write up of how it goes! You can read about their success getting the needed funding here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1757805840/camp-wanatachi-a-new-musical/posts
This Sword of Truth was apparently used in the fight scenes by Craig for all the fighting in Season 1. The seller is Bridget’s stunt double once again and some of the proceeds will go to help Child Cancer. It’s a bit pricey but if you can afford it, it would sure make a heck of an addition to anyone’s collection! Here’s the item: http://item.ebay.com/230491469830
There’s a D’Haran sword being sold on eBay, at least allegedly. The person selling it claims to have worked on the show and it is, in fact, coming from New Zealand. I can’t completely verify the validity of this auction but it seems like it could be the real deal. If you want to check out the details and maybe place a bid, the item can be found here: http://item.ebay.com/330444660973
Also, a whip is being sold. Again, no real guarantees that it came from the show are there, like a certificate of authenticity, but it’s coming from New Zealand as well and the seller claims to have purchased it from the creators of the show at a prop auction. So, if you might like this, you can find it here: http://item.ebay.com/160446496464
Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever. (June 18, 2010)

THIS JUST IN: THE CREATOR OF CAMP WANATACHI WANTS YOUR LESBIAN CAMP STORIES
Over the past few months, a considerable buzz has surrounded the musical Camp Wanatachi, a quirky story about an all-girls Christian summer camp in which two of the campers fall in love.
When it debuted at New York’s Fringe Festival last year, Time Out New York called it “refreshing and uplifting and gave it four stars. New York Magazine dubbed it a hilariously subversive piece of theater.” Even we had something to say about it.
Produced by Bridget Regan of Legend of the Seeker and Ian Pai, co-founder of Blue Man Group and musical director of Fischerspooner, the zany musical is set to forward-sounding electro tracks with whimsical yet hormone-driven lyrics that evoke the frenetic and confusing but often exhilarating time called adolescence. It features beats by hip-hop producer Machinedrum and was arranged by up and coming composer Conrad Winslow.
The rest of the article/interview can be found at the following link, however, there is adult content, so view at your own discretion. Also, they are looking for stories about lesbian experiences at summer camp, whether as a camper or a counselor. So, well, if you’ve got any stories that you want to share, the details are after the interview. Here it is: http://www.afterellen.com/blwe/06-18-10?page=0,1
A version of the Sword of Truth that was apparently being used in rehearsals is up on eBay being sold by Bridget’s dear stunt double. A portion of the proceeds will go to cancer-related charity. There’s already a fair number of bids on it, looks like it will be a popular item. So, if you’re interested in a piece of LotS history and also in helping out a good cause, take a look.

I Spent a Night at Camp Wanatachi
Bridget Regan has taken a hands-on approach to her involvement in the Camp Wanatachi project. At the Camp Wanatachi Benefit Concert on June 3rd, Bridget was seen before the show lugging equipment bins in a stunning red dress, dealing with the box office and greeting people at the doors to the event. She was classy and gracious and was busting her butt to make sure everything went without a hitch, as any good producer should. I got a chance to speak with her after the concert and asked her what her motivation was for becoming involved in Camp Wanatachi. She responded by saying that she has always had a passion for musical theater since she was young. When a friend had her listen to a song written by Natalie Weiss, creator of Camp Wanatachi and a friend of Bridget’s from their time at acting school, she was immediately blown away by the distinctive sound and felt inspired to lend her support to the project. She has done this by becoming a co-producer, adding her name to the project to increase interest and dedicating a tremendous amount of time and effort to its success since returning to the U.S. after wrapping up her role on Legend of the Seeker in New Zealand.

Bridget Regan played the gorgeous, young warrior Kahlan on the syndicated drama Legend of the Seeker but ever since the show was cancelled in March, a huge campaign was started by her fans to help save the show! Bridget tells us that after two successful seasons of the show she was shocked it wasn’t renewed.
“It was doing really well in the second season,” says Bridget. “I thought our fan base was growing and especially how many countries were viewing the show … but I guess we needed our ratings on TV to be higher.”

Bridget Tweeted this but just so everyone knows, Camp Wanatachi has a Facebook page. You can check it out here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Camp-Wanatachi/85296411450
The Camp Wanatachi folks are having a pledge drive to make the Camp Wanatachi Concert a reality. Some of the folks involved are even forgoing payment for their services in order to put this production on but they need more funds. Their stated goal is $5,000 but I’m sure they would be ecstatic with more. And there are some great incentives to pledge. At the $100 level, you get a CD signed by the cast and production team, including our Bridget. For $500, you get a 30 minute Skype session with Bridget! And for $5,000, Bridget and the rest of the production team will take you out for drinks in New York City! Head on over to the pledge site, check it out, see what they are offering. Minimum pledge, $1.
They will be putting on two shows, on June 3rd and 4th, and it is possible that Bridget might be there. We don’t know for certain but she’s been pretty involved, so there’s a shot. If anyone goes, please send us a write up to put on the site! Thanks!
