Best known for featuring a 300-year-old witch and Timmy (the late Josh Ryan Evans), the doll that came to life, the “Passions” cast reunion will include an interactive Q&A to benefit COVID-19 relief efforts in memory of the show’s former executive producer, the late Lisa de Cazotte, who passed away in December after a brief illness. If able, no matter the amount, donations to the COVID-19 charity of your choice can be made in the memory of de Cazotte. A donation is not mandatory to participate.
The show’s former supervising producer Richard Schilling and producer Mary-Kelly Weir will host the highly anticipated event. Cherie Wall of Soap Opera Royalty is organizing. Wall was the show’s stage manager during its run.
