| Camp Midnight's Valley of the Dolls Fall 2010 Screening Event Photos!!! |
| The Camp Midnight Presentation of Valley of the Dolls hosted by Mr. O'Day and featuring hilarious performances from the Hell in a Handbag theatrical troupe (David Cerda as Jackie Susann, Ed Jones as Helen Lawson/Susan Hayward) on Saturday, November 20, 2010 at Chicago's historic Music Box Theatre, home to the Camp Midnight series was a resounding, sold out success! Thanks to all for attending and a special thank you to our special guest, Academy Award winner Patty Duke, star of the film who made this a once in a lifetime, never to be forgotten event Chicago will never forget! We love you Anna! Special thanks to Dave Jennings, Brian Andreotti (and the entire Music Box staff), Mike Pearce and Bill Jankowski, and many others who worked tirelessly to make this such a memorable event. |
