And the backstory from The Globe:

'On Broadway' filming set to begin
By Carol Beggy & Mark Shanahan, Globe Staff  |  April 19, 2006

''On Broadway," the Boston-themed independent movie, is back on, despite a several-month delay in the start of production. Most of the cast is intact, including stars Joey McIntyre; ''Saturday Night Live" funny girl and Burlington native Amy Poehler and her husband, Will Arnett, of the late ''Arrested Development"; and New Hampshire native and ''Yes, Dear" star Mike O'Malley, along with Vincent Dowling, Robert Wahlberg, Sean Lawlor, and actor/producer Lance Green. ''We're ready to go," said West Roxbury native Dave McLaughlin, the film's writer/director. The 20-day production schedule will start on May 1. The film, which is set in Jamaica Plain, will be shot by LA-based cinematographer and South Boston native Terrence Hayes. It will qualify for tax breaks under a new state law aimed at wooing more film and TV biz to the region. ''On Broadway" is in the vein of ''The Commitments," McLaughlin said, with McIntyre as a playwright who stages a production of his work in the back of an Irish pub. The story might be familiar to locals because McLaughlin did just that about nine years ago at the Burren in Somerville with his Irish-American family drama ''God Willing." ''I remember that time so fondly; it was such a great process to be a part of," McLaughlin said.

My co-worker, a big Buffy fan, met Eliza Dushku at the American Repertory Theatre last night, he was star struck and tongue tied but she was very gracious and down-to-earth and said she's very glad to be back in Boston.

Huh. Not me, so much, but I just called Patsfan and left the info on his cellphone voicemail. He's up in MA for the week visiting with his friend Dave, and they've both done some acting, Dave more than Patsfan. They've also made some fairly bizarre student-indie movies back in their early college days. I can see them deciding to do this.
