    Wonderful all star cast. Jane Lynch as Maggie Gallagher is amazing. Not sure if this is going to be left up indefinitely so for anyone who wanted to see it, this is the vid of last nights live stream. Since there's an almost 18 minute wait for the play to actually start you probably want to go ahead & click the "skip ahead to start" button.




    And a HUGE thank you to AFER for making the play possible & making the vid available.

    Thank You CeCe! big hugz

    I just got done watching the whole thing and hope it stays up a while longer. Gonna contact AFER and give some support to the cause.

    I hope this makes it to the U.S. Supreme Court and hope it gets rules these hateful laws unconstitutional just as they did the miscegenation laws in 1967. It would really be nice if that ruling came down in June, the same month as the Loving vs Va case.

    Just found this AP article about it:

    Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Martin Sheen, Jane Lynch headline gay-marriage play, '8'
    BY SANDY COHEN, AP ENTERTAINMENT WRITER

    LOS ANGELES -- Martin Sheen commanded the stage with his impassioned portrayal of an attorney arguing for gay-marriage rights; Jane Lynch inspired instant response as a vehement same-sex marriage opponent; Brad Pitt dazzled as a judge.

    It was all part of the star-studded West Coast premiere of "8," a play about the 2010 federal court fight against Proposition 8, the gay-marriage ban that California voters approved in 2008.

    The performance Saturday at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles also featured George Clooney, Kevin Bacon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Christine Lahti, George Takei, John C. Reilly, Chris Colfer, Matthew Morrison and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

    The play by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black made its Broadway debut last year in similar starry fashion. Saturday's benefit performance was broadcast live on YouTube, where director Rob Reiner said it drew 200,000 viewers. He hopes it attracts more than a million before its weeklong online run ends. The play will also be staged around the country with local actors at colleges and community theaters.
