1 Year Ago Today Smokefall Performances Began in NYC

Published by Posted on
Smokefall performances began one year ago today, on February 4th, 2016 at the  Lucille Lortel Theatre in NYC.Smokefall was Robin’s stage debut, playing the role of Violet, “a dreamy but loving mother”. (New York Times)

  • “Tunney skillfully conveys both deep maternal love and a careworn forbearance.” (The Daily Beast)
  • “Tunney injects Violet’s natural defeatism with compelling warmth.” (Talkin’ Broadway)
  • “Robin Tunney, making her stage debut as Violet, is also exceptional”.  (NY Theatre Guide)
Seeing this play was probably the most beautiful memory I have of 2016. Seeing Robin performing such a character was exciting, moving, something I'll keep in my heart forever.
One of the parts of the play that moved me the most was Violet singing a lullaby for her babies:

"Remember this space
Before light knows your name
Before my warm embrace
Before joy, before pain
Remember this wait
Before love, before hate
Your lives without time
Remember this song
I'm singing for you
It won't be long
Then you'll sing it too."

I've received today Robin's answer to the Fans Book I've sent her last February! And she also included a special gift with the message, the cross chain Lisbon used to wear during Season 1! I can't express how awesome that is, it's like holding the most wonderful treasure in my hands! I will not thank Robin enough for her sweet message, and for the wonderful gift. You are awesome Robin!! I hope Robin's wrist will heal very soon, and I appreciate even more that she took time to write something despite that! Get well soon Robin! ♥ The Message: "Maria, Thank you for the beautiful book! My wrist is broken so I cannot write much. I have procured Lisbon's cross from season 1 for you as a token of my appreciation. Lots of love! xx Robin."

New Interview with Robin, released by Anthem Magazine A gaggle of teens with the “coolest job in the world”—hawking music while listening to same—are faced with the impending sale of their beloved record store to a big and shiny tunes chain. Four teenage girls at a Catholic prep school form a coven of witches to strike back at their peers and use their newfound sorcery for personal gain. At the end of the second millennium, Satan visits New York City in search of a bride to bear the Antichrist—over Arnold Schwarzenegger’s dead body. The connecting thread between Empire Records, The Craft, and End of Days is of course Robin Tunney, who hit it big in the late ‘90s and has grown to show as much longevity in her career as the select films from her body of work—cult phenoms, if not cultural touchstones by some measure. Now most widely recognized for her seven-year tenure on The Mentalist, which ended its run in 2015, the actress is teaming up with Nicolas Cage in Tim Hunter’s Looki
