Thanks for that! I actually just got tickets to see the play with my best friend today. I'm going on June 18th. Has anyone seen it yet? How was it?

Chatted with a friend from another message board who saw the play!!! She actually had a chance to meet and talk with Maura at the stage door as well. Commented about how nice she is..... Really? That would be amazing if I got a chance to meet her. The theater seems to be pretty small. I'm in the 10th row from the stage...but there are only like 12 rows in the orchestra section...and then even less in the messanine...maybe that's good for her loyal fans...more of a shot to meet her/get an autograph!

Actually the stage door is where people are meeting all of the actors. Go early and catch them as they are arriving or wait outside after the show and catch them when they are leaving. By all reports Maura and Eric MacCormack have been MOST accomodating to the people that wait to meet them. I am SO jealous of everyone that is able to be there!!!! Dang!

Here is an article from Newsday on Maura... FAST CHAT MAURA TIERNEY Robert Kahn ~ June 4, 2006 Newsday. (1st June today! ??) Maura Tierney doesn't just play a doctor on "ER" - she's portraying one on stage, too, appearing as the radiologist/disgruntled ex of a magazine scribe (Eric McCormack) in the Neil LaBute play "Some Girl(s)," opening Thursday at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Tierney's fellow "spurnees" - Fran Drescher, Judy Reyes and Brooke Smith - are also familiar from the small screen, making the Off-Broadway show feel something like Must-See MCC Theater. Massachusetts native Tierney, 41, who has been married for more than a decade to actor-director Billy Morrissette, sat down with Newsday's Robert Kahn at a cafe near the Greenwich Village apartment she's owned for nine years. Abby Lockhart will be a third-year resident on "ER" next season. Meanwhile, Bobbi, who faces down her ex in the final scene of "Some Girl(s)," is a radiologist. I'm trying not to think about that. I have this line in the play where I say, "I don't read much anymore, except for X-rays," and I know people in the audience are laughing, because it's sort of an inside joke. But what can I do? Bobbi was dumped after three years, without so much as a phone call. Years later, Guy rings her up looking for absolution before taking the plunge himself - but Bobbi's not quite ready to forgive. Could you imagine dating someone for three years and then just leaving them and never calling again? Fortunately, that's never happened to me, but I assume that if it did, that's the kind of rage I would have, especially because he's so clueless. As your friends have seen the show, do they react differently to it along gender lines? Parminder [Nagra, her "ER" co- star] came to see the show last night with her boyfriend, and they were having the same re- sponse. It made them both think of people from their past who they'd like to go back and visit ... She was like, "Oh, this is the one I'd like to go back and see." And he said, "This is the one I'd like to go see." "Some Girl(s)" is your New York stage debut. How is it different from filming a weekly TV series? This will sound obvious, I guess, but ... there are people sitting there watching you. It's a more nervous feeling. But it's also something to know that if you flub a line - which I've sort of done, though not horribly - that you can say, "OK, that happened," and everyone's still alive and you move on. It's getting easier. And it's great, because you know, if I have a bad day at work on "ER," 12 million people are going to see it. Here, I can go back the next day and do it differently and make it better. There's the luxury of time. There was a 1995 episode of "NewsRadio" where your character Lisa, a math whiz, learns to play poker to win back Phil Hartman after your TV boss loses him in an interstation poker game. In real life, you won the 2004 "Celebrity Poker Showdown," which was hosted by your old "NewsRadio" co-star Dave Foley. Are you keeping your skills sharp? I've lost every game of poker I ever played except that one - and that was a good one to win. I occasionally play with ["ER" co-star] Mekhi [Phifer], but I don't really like playing for fun. I'm not a good poker player with friends, because I'm not aggressive. I feel guilty when I win, and I'm angry when I lose, so it's not really relaxing. On the subject of your former sitcoms, there's a story posted on the Internet Movie Database that says you were axed from the Alan Thicke sitcom "Growing Pains" after less than a week. How did that happen? I still don't know why I was fired, but it was cool because I moved back to New York and changed things in my life. You know, Joanna Kerns ["Growing Pains" mom Maggie Seaver] just directed a couple of episodes of "ER." I went up to her and said, "Hi, we've met." And she said, "I feel like I know you from the air." And I said, "No. I did your show for two days. I was fired." Doing a show in New York means you're separated not just from Billy, but from Rose Kennedy, your 11-year-old pug, so named because you "wanted her to live forever." Is she more his now than yours? The thing about Rose is, she can get over one fairly quickly. What [Billy] forgets, and what everyone forgets, is that she was more mine when she was a puppy. My parents gave her to us. On "NewsRadio," I took her to work everyday and she hung out on the set with me. When I started doing "ER," she couldn't come, so then she became his dog. And they have a love affair the likes of which the world has never seen. I'm the appendage to their relationship. On "ER," Abby has found her emotional confidence and is preparing to raise a baby with Luka (Goran Visnjic). Pregnancies on TV tend to be written in when an actress is pregnant in real life - and clearly, you're not. Hopefully it's clear. When Sherry [Stringfield's] character was pregnant, she was pregnant in real life, but people on the show didn't really know she was pregnant. They thought she was wearing a prosthetic. And she was always saying, "No, this is my baby." ... People like to hit my prosthetic. You'd be surprised. "ER" writers are at executive producer John Wells' house in Hawaii right now, "arcing" out the next season. Any predictions or hopes for Abby? Part of me wants her to fall off the wagon, because we've never really seen that.... Imagine me, passed out, with the baby in the crib. That happens, and it would be fun for me. But I don't know if they're gonna go for it or not. In the spectrum of medical shows, "Grey's Anatomy" got most of the press last season. Are you a fan? I don't watch the other medical shows. I don't watch "Grey's Anatomy," I don't watch "House." I'm sure they're all very talented people, and I'm not saying it like a throwdown, but it makes me tense. I don't want to worry that they're so much better or different than we are. I just don't want those ideas in my head. I have to do my thing. I'm just a baby. I thought the prosthetic pregnancy bit was funny!

She's quite funny. The part about people hitting the prosthetic and then about wanting Abby to fall of the wagon. I don't want her to fall of the wagon and leave the baby in the crib! But then again, she is just the acrtress, we are the ones who live and die for the show.

Actually the stage door is where people are meeting all of the actors. Go early and catch them as they are arriving or wait outside after the show and catch them when they are leaving. By all reports Maura and Eric MacCormack have been MOST accomodating to the people that wait to meet them. I am SO jealous of everyone that is able to be there!!!! Dang! Really? Thanks for that information. I already informed my best friend that we will be getting there early and staying late afterwards. We have been best friends for like 17 years, so she is used to my craziness by now! I wouldn't take anyone else with me but her. Haha. I just hope we don't miss our train back to Philadelphia!

Yea I went to the play last week and went in early to get my tickets so I didn't have to wait in line. (This was early in the morning) And I walked into Judy Reyes!! I held the door open for her. I froze and she smiled at me and said THANK YOU!! I turned to my boyfriend and he was smiling at me because he knew I wanted to flip out. I made him wait with me to see if Maura walked in, but she was already inside cuz I heard her talking to someone. I was trying soooo hard not to scream. We didn't get to wait after the play cuz we were going to miss our train. So my boyfiend bought me tickets to go see it again!! This time he promised me we can wait for her!!! AHHH I'm sooo excited!! HAHA this is going to be me when she comes out ---> HEHE!!!
