TOP STORY: PROTESTORS PICKET KATIE’S OPENING NIGHTDemonstrators from the anti-Scientology group Anonymous staged a protest during opening night of Katie Holmes’ Broadway debut on Thursday. About 20 picketers greeted theatergoes—including Holmes’ husband, Tom Cruise—outside the the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York City, where Holmes is starring in All My Sons.
The group was wearing masks and shouted, “We are not boycotting Katie, we are not boycotting the play, we are protesting Scientology. It is evil. Scientology kills people. It follows you home at night. It is perverted.”
A spokesperson for Anonymous spoke to Us recently about the planned action. “We are going to be there not only in protest of The Church of Scientology,” a member of the group told Us, “we would love to see Katie Holmes get away from this evil cult before it's to late.”
All My Sons is scheduled to run on Broadway through January 11, 2009. Usmagazine |
