Another actor was injured Monday during a performance of ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’. The unidentified actor fell between 10 and 30 feet according to conflicting reports. Equipment also fell into the audience. The actor has been hospitalized in serious condition.
This is the fourth injury so far for the production. Actress Natalie Mendoza received a concussion during a preview performance when a large rope hit her in the head.
Originally set to open on January 11, 2011, the now most expensive production in Broadway history ($65 million) has been pushed back to February 7.
Dirk Van Tilborg
After reading Jack Kirby’s Forever People and New Gods comic books and watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dirk was assimilated during first grade recess into the collective known as Science Fiction. Fueled by the visions of mad scientists such as Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert, he has quietly searched the galaxy for the next BladeRunner, Brazil and Dark City. Born in San Francisco and currently enjoying a steampunk version of Ft. Lauderdale, when not grokking Science Fiction he spends his time with family and friends and just maybe trying to enter the dreams of disingenuous politicians.
