It was an all star rotating line-up at the CAP Theatre ('Complete Actors Place') in Sherman Oaks from Sunday, May 8th - Tuesday May 10th as noted screen, TV and stage personalities tackled various theatrical renditions, made famous by Eve Ensler, from what has become the most effective exercise in reclaiming feminine power -"The Vagina Monologues."

It is highly unlikely that while Laura Ingalls Wilder was writing about the 'LITTLE HOUSE IN THE BIG WOODS' (Pepin, Wisconsin) or 'LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE' (Walnut Grove, Minnesota), that she ever thought the characters of her story would make it as far as California, let alone gather together South of the boarder on the high seas of the Pacific Ocean.

A cast of stars in an intimate theatrical setting with all proceeds going to charity is the way to describe the V-Day Valley (www.vdayvalley.com) production of "The Vagina Monologues," directed by Sheena Metal at the Complete Actors Place in Sherman Oaks (Los Angeles).

One of television's royal families gathered this weekend, to celebrate one of their own. 'I can't believe they are all here!' declared a voice from the audience in response to seeing eight cast members from the hit series 'The Waltons' up in front of fans on Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles. Michael Learned (Olivia Walton/Momma) wasn't surprised at all saying, 'Mary has always been the one to instigate gatherings. Sometimes, she calls and says, 'OK it's about time we got together.'

When asked about being the first of the Walton's cast to release a memoir (Lessons From the Mountain: What I Learned From Erin Walton), Mary declares, 'The decision to write didn't come easily for several reasons. When people ask me why we haven't written a book about The Waltons, I joke that if anyone did and told the whole truth, the rest of us would get together and kill them. So, if I disappear soon after this book is published, consider The Waltons family members key suspects.'

For 83 years, the movie industry has had the Oscars. For 65 years, Thespians have had their TONYS. For 63 years, the television arts have had the EMMYS, and for 63 years, the field of music has had the Grammys and now, for 43 years, the world of Illusion and magic has had ... unofficially, their Miltons (If they named it after its co-founder, Milt Larsen).
