Come see Tracey Rooney in Theatre Neo’s adaptation of “Family of Mann” and she plays the lead- Belinda- the newest writer on sitcom spinoff of Family Ties in 1994 (it’s based on her first tv working for Family Ties showrunner Gary David Goldberg)
Tracey claims “It’s the most challenging part I’ve had in a loong, loong time and I would LOVE your advice, collaboration, thoughts about it as it is the kind of show that I will NEVER be finished working on and figuring out…. (I will buy you drinks after! tempted yet? ..) The cast is SO GREAT and you’ll even get to see me and a hot guy make out in our underwear.
Tickets are a $25 but you can get them for 1/2 price on

Just heard from a very busy New Zealand student, Ben Swann. He just fished working with Phil Keoghan (Amazing Race) on a N.Z version of the show called “No Opportunity Wasted“, where he got to travel the length of the country in sports cars. He also starred in “Out of the Dark” (George Andrews Productions) and this week he’s appearing at New Zealand Fashion Week in Auckland. Is that all? No. On September 30th he’s off to L.A.
