Since there seems to be some interest on the Net in the
"Whovian Festival Tour", I'm including here all information I
have on the two stops yet to come. This information is from "The
Whovian Times," the newsletter of the Dr. Who Fan Club of America
(DWFCA), Volume 5 (they mean issue 5), June 1983.
July 23-24: Chicago
Granada Theatre, 6427 N. Sheridan Rd.
July 30-31: Denver
Paramount Theatre, 519 16th St.
All shows will be held 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, reserved seating
only. At the time the newsletter was printed no show was sold
out so tickets will be available at the door, but only on the day
of the event.
Tickets cost $10 or $15 (the more expensive seats are closer
to the stage). To obtain tickets, you should call 1-800-CALLWHO
(that's 1-800-225-5946) or (303) 332-5072 within Colorado.
Business hours are 9-5 Mountain Time.
The guest stars for the Whovian Festival Tour are Jon
Pertwee (Doctor #3) and Lis Sladen (Sarah Jane Smith).
Activities planned include Dr. Who video programs, Q & A
sessions, autograph sessions, costume contests, and of course
merchandising of Dr. Who-related paraphenalia.
That's all the information I have, and if the DWFCA phone
numbers are busy I can only suggest that you call the local
theatre for information. If you are interested in joining the
DWFCA, they are located at P.O. Box 6024, Cherry Creek Station,
Denver, CO 80206-0024. For your money (I'm not sure how much it
is for a year's membership) you get a heat-sensitive liquid
crystal ("mood") membership button and wallet card, and a
newsletter WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS AND JUST GUSHING OVER WITH GOLLY-
GEE-WHIZ and full of interviews, articles, and blowing-their-own-
horn, and asking you to shell out more money for buttons, T-
shirts, and Whovian Festival Tours. Part of their income goes to
support PBS stations that carry Dr. Who. The best part of the
whole club is the "mood" wallet card, in my opinion. Don't ask
me for more info, I just gave you all I got, but Dr. Who fans are
welcome to send mail to me.
