Video: Renee Teaching Acting Workshop - Southern Shakespeare Company

I love watching Renee teach. There is something so wonderful listening to a person who knows what they are talking about and can impart their knowledge in a way that makes it enjoyable. If Renee ever decides to stop acting, producing or directing, she would make an EXCELLENT teacher.

Is It Time For A Xena Reboot?

The Thrillist Entertainment site has Xena on a list of shows that need to be revived. Yep we agree that Xena needs to be resurrected. Read the full list hereXena: Warrior Princess (1995-2001)

In 2015, NBCUniversal announced plans to reboot Xena: Warrior Princess, the Hercules: The Legendary Journeys spinoff that thrived in syndication and inspired a million cosplay outfits and lesbian fan fiction blogs. The project fizzled in development, and we're OK with that solely because it would have meant casting someone other than Lucy Lawless as Xena. In 2015, while promoting her turn in the Evil Dead franchise revival show, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Lawless herself said she'd be interested in donning the leather mail again. With the massive success of Wonder Woman, getting Lawless back in the Thracian warrior garb along with Renee O'Connor as Gabrielle (except they'd be openly dating this time around) seems like something executive producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert should make a top priority. We'll give them a deadline of July 19, the first day of this year's Comic-Con. -- John Sellers

Adrienne Wilkinson Charity Raffle TJ Scott's In The Tub with Xena Cast

Hi loves!

It's that time again. This year for my charity event supporting families dealing with medical expenses, I'm raffling off the most delicious item. A gorgeous limited edition of the extended special edition version of TJ Scott's In The Tub- a museum quality coffee table book of actors and artists posing in a bathtub - and it is signed by multiple actors including myself, Brittney Powell and Renee O'Connor. It is HUGE, gorgeous, mint condition and this version is one of only 1000 printed and it is sold out (you can even find copies selling for more than $1400 online - woah!). It is also the only book with this combination of signtatures, making it one-of-a kind.

We each signed our image(s) as well as the title page. The book comes with its own cover box and a maximum of only 125 tickets will be sold. The drawing will be done live in front of an audience at the Xenite Retreat on April 29th - only 2 weeks away! I expect it to sell out, so grab those tickets quickly (we have 81 tickets left) Full details and tickets can be found here: http://adriennewilkinson.com/charitydinner/

Thank you all for your generosity and for participating. Tickets are $50 each and you can buy as many as you want until they are all sold out. I can't wait to see who takes this beauty home!

Photos and Video from Renee O'Connor at Indiana Comic Con

Renee posted some photos and video from the Indiana Comic Con which was held between March 30 to April 1. In the video Renee gets smacked in the face by an arrow (it's okay she's got a protective visor on). I think she's a little out of practice from the last time she had a bow and arrow :) Thanks for sharing, Renee!

Happy Easter!! What a great Easter weekend at the Indiana Comic Con. Starting Passover Friday with a bilingual service, sung in the Ancient Church tradition, surrounded by people and couples of all ages and sexes and my sweet mother, Sandra Wilson. ??.The days at @indianacomiccon were full of special memories, meeting new fan friends, seeing old friends, and having my butt kicked by #ErinDay in archery! Thank you @indianacomiccon and my fans #xenites for all the love on Easter. I’m blessed! @bellacanadese @seanastin
