Dawn Wells Added To CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY Cast At Van Wezel 1/11

The woman who made history on "Gilligan's Island" is joining the cast of CELEBRITY AUTOBIOGRAPHY at the Van Wezel on Tuesday, January 11, at 7 & 9 p.m.-TOMORROW! GREAT SEATS STILL AVAILABLE!

Her trademark pigtails and gingham dress made her one of the most adored and famed television characters. Dawn Wells, the 1959 Miss Nevada, moved to Hollywood fresh out of college and got the role of "Mary Ann Summers" on CBS's "Gilligan's Island"(1964). The rest is history. Now, 40 years after the show aired, WELLS has an accomplished body of work to her credit. She has performed in over 100 theatrical productions, including the National Touring Company of "They're Playing Our Song!," and done countless voice-overs, commercials and talk shows. She worked for the Australian news show, "Midday," as an interviewer and has had great success as a producer of TV movies. In 1998, she founded the Dawn Wells' Film Actors Boot Camp in Driggs, Idaho. The camp is for the already trained actor looking to make the transition from the amateur to the professional actor. WELLS toured with the plays "Love Letters" with Adam West and Eve Ensler's Award-Winning "The Vagina Monologues". In early 2004, she established and founded The Spud Film Institute in Idaho and Wyoming and held the first ever Spud Drive in Film and Music Festival. DAWN also has her own clothing line for the physically challenged called "Wishing Wells Collections."

The Van Wezel will be mixing it up by seating this show Cabaret -style in the Grand Foyer. Patrons will be able to purchase light food and cocktails. Ticket prices range from $40 to $50.
