I had so hoped that David Greenlee, who played Dwight, would be able to join us in the U.K. to be a special guest at the Fame Family Experience Convention. We got so close to it happening but we couldn’t quite work out the travel details to fit into David’s Schedule. So we went with the next best thing which was a video chat link up.
Neither David nor I had done this before so we had a dress
rehearsal on Friday 3rd May when we went to the Holiday Inn for a
practice link up to test out the technology.
We had initial problems setting things up but we but soon we
were connected and chatting away. After months of emails back and forth it was
great chatting to this wonderful man and hearing stories about Fame and the
cast from this unique perspective.
We’d only expected to link up for a few minutes but actually
it was best part of an hour that we chatted, which was lovely.
David said: “For years I’ve done so many conventions for “Beauty
and the Beast” and other projects that I’ve been involved in and every time I
do one I’ve wondered where is the “Fame” convention. Particularly there in the
U.K., Italy and a couple of other Countries where it was so popular. “Fame” has had this a long time coming. There
has never been one for “Fame” and I’m kind of thrilled that there is!”
The practice run gave us all great confidence about doing it
for real at the Convention. The WIFI at the Holiday Inn wasn’t perfect but we
got through it.
A huge Thank you to David Greenlee for taking part.
