Ever since Dawson’s Creek ended its six-season run in 2003, fans have been wanting a reunion. And they are finally getting one.
Well, sort of. For the first time since they filmed the series finale, eleven of the cast members are getting together in New York City to raise money for Fuck Cancer and James Van Der Beek. James revealed in November that he is battling stage 3 colorectal cancer.
Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, Mary Beth Peil, John Wesley Shipp, Mary-Margaret Humes, Nina Repeta, Kerr Smith, Meredith Monroe, and Busy Phillips will be holding a table read of the pilot episode. The latter three were not part of the first episode, which aired on January 20, 1998, so the trio will be reading other parts.
Michelle Williams said in a statement, “We grew up in Capeside, and that’s a bond that will last a lifetime. We wanted to gather around our dear friend James and remind him that we are all here. We always have been, and we always will be. And I know the fans of ‘Dawson’s Creek’ feel the same way.”
And fans can be there for them by buying tickets to the table read, which will take place on September 22nd at the Richard Rodgers Theater.
If the organizers are smart, they will put it online and allow fans, outside of Manhattan, to purchase tickets to the screening.
