Tuesday Peach Buzz: Never can say goodbye to Bard
by Richard Eldredge
"Alias" actress Jennifer Garner took time out from butt-kicking bad
guys on the ABC spy series to return to her roots over the weekend.
Garner, a 1994 acting intern at the Georgia Shakespeare Festival,
turned up to greet old friends, dine and take in a performance
of "Much Ado About Nothing" Saturday night.
During the summer of 1994, Garner, like the other interns, lugged
tent equipment and helped to assemble the contraptions. That summer,
she also trod the boards in productions of "A Midsummer Night's
Dream" and "The Merchant of Venice."
On Saturday night, this year's interns strode to her table to
perform, some not knowing who she was until they got up close and
personal. After the show, she took time to talk to the interns and
the current cast and to pose for pictures.
"Everybody loved her," the festival's Stacey Colosa Lucas told Buzz
Monday. Gazing at the facility's new performing arts building, Garner
told the interns, "You guys have it easy now!" The actress also has
made a donation to the internship program.
