Kate Mulgrew takes on "Equus"

Kate Mulgrew has made a superb career out of being the female "Star Trek" captain (then admiral), Kathryn Janeway. To us "Dallas" fans, though, she'll always be Garnet McGee, the country music star who left Ray Krebbs smitten as she was cuttin' deals with J.R. Ewing on the side. To us fans of "Batman: The Animated Series," we'll never forget her rough-cut delivery for the snarling villainess Red Claw.

Now, Mulgrew is looking toward a new role on Broadway: She will play Hesther Salomon alongside Daniel Radcliffe in "Equus." The play, Peter Shaffer's story of a savage crime and the teen at the heart of it, opens on Thursday, September 25 at Broadhurst Theatre, 235 West 44th Street (between Broadway and 8th), New York, NY. Visit the show's website here and read the official press release.

Mulgrew also does the convention circuit. She will be a guest at Creation's Convention in Las Vegas on August 6-10. Nana Visitor, our own Georgina Sinclair of "The Colbys," will be at that one, too. Read more at the event's website. After that, Mulgrew will appear at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto, August 22-24. Check their website for more information.
