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.”

Dayna, Bridget’s stunt double for Legend of the Seeker, went to a sale the studio had last week and bought a few props from the show and has put them up on eBay. The first item is the radahan Kahlen wore in the season one finale: http://item.ebay.com/230481766967
The second item is Kahlan’s backpack that she used off and on for the entire series: http://item.ebay.com/230481675974
As of this writing both items are over $200 USD. We’re told that other items will be popping up in the next few days and we’ll post whenever they come up.
CineTVBuzz, a French TV & movie news site, wants your questions for Bridget! They’ve asked that we collect questions here on the site for them to use when they interview her at the Monte Carlo TV Festival next month. And, even better, these interviews are video taped and put up on YouTube for the world to see. So, what have you always wanted to as Bridget? Post a comment and let us know. We’ll be collecting questions from now until midnight (Eastern standard) on June 5th so you’ve got a week to think something up. Please note, they won’t use all the questions, there’s just not enough time I’m afraid. Here’s the link to their Monte Carlo site: http://www.festivaltvmontecarlo.cinetvbuzz.com/ and here’s a list of all their interviews from last year: http://www.festivaltvmontecarlo.cinetvbuzz.com/home.php?page=news. These are round table interviews meaning there is more then one journalist and they each get to ask a few questions. Below is last year’s interview with Tricia Helfer from Battlestar Galactica. It’s actually the second half but it starts out talking about her problems with constantly dying her hair which is a question we see asked often about Bridget and whether she’ll stay brunette or go back to red. This is one of the smaller, more intimate interviews. If you look on the site the interviews for Emily Deschanel (Bones) and David McCallum (NCIS) are held in a larger ballroom type setting. It’s a unique opportunity and I can’t wait to see what all you guys come up with.
How many posts can we make while y’all are asleep? We’re on a marathon mission to find out!
Over on SciFi Wire, SyFy’s news outlet, they’re running a poll over the best season finale and Legend of the Seeker is one of the choices so head on over and vote.
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!

Okay, we’ve had a lot of discussion recently that wasn’t over the specific episode being discussed. It was about the series as a whole. This gave us the idea that perhaps you all would like a place where you could be free to give your thoughts and opinions on LotS as a series. You can discuss things pertaining to any episode, character, actor, storyline, whatever. All that we ask is that you keep disagreements POLITE and do not deliberately provoke other members. Just be pleasant and enjoy a wide open discussion on our beloved Seeker and whatever is in your heart to post about it. We hope you find this a pleasant addition to the site and you can all have fun with it. Relive the adventure here among friends!
Note: This post will be stickied to the top, at least for the time being, in anticipation of a lot of you having a great deal to say about the show. So don’t worry about it getting buried pages back!
