The Grey Girls proudly support the writers and congratulate them on the ending on the strike.
THE STRIKE HAS ENDED!
But many lives were still affected by it! That's why the writers and actors of GA/PrPr got together to create
GOOD MEDICINE
Originally, Good Medicine was not a fundrasing event, says TR Knight - the brilliant actor behind the timid and caring George
O'Malley. The cast had planned to get together and do small skits and songs in celebration of show creator Shonda Rhimes'es
birthday. With the strike looming over them, the crew/cast decided to hold off on the festivities. It wasn't until TR offered up the
idea to make it a fundrasing event that GOOD MEDICINE became a fan event. And boy aren't we glad!
Most of the cast attended, and more than half of the cast actually sang for the packed audience. Sadly, Kate Walsh and Patrick
Dempsey were unable to attend. The many crew members, executives, and a few familiar faces (Betsey Beers, ET's Kristen Veitch,
and even Grey's own "Joe the Bartender") were in the first few rows - with thousands of die hard fans packed in around them.
Recap by one of our own Grey Girls:
Good Medicine - Friday, February 29, 2008
There were no spoilers… I KNOW this is what you wanted to know Angelique … unless it went totally over my head… but if there’s
a fanfic out there that has a werewolf or Lord George O’Malley and Izzie as governess… yeah… they were quoted in two comedic
spoofs.
It was a delightful evening, and I’m so glad I made the decision to fly out for the weekend. It was perfect opportunity to combine
visiting with friends…and patience paid off… so yes, went to the back door waited about an total and got rewarded…Eric Dane
and Ellen’s autographs as well as photo with Ellen.
Eric is prettier, hotter, steamier up close than I imagined, and took the time to approach small group of people probably no more
than 35 waiting at the stage door and provided autographs. Ellen Pompeo did the same, and was incredibly gracious and lovely,
and spent time posing for photos and providing autographs I’d say well over 15-20 minutes. They do not do her justice with her
appearance on Grey’s. She is lovely and very pretty. She’s always been my favorite, and now, well…it’s not likely to change. Did
not wait around after she left, but James Pickens who was loading things in his car said he’d be back to.
The look of the program:
Probably appropriately so for Grey’s fans that analyze every nuance of details… the background colors are light lavender shades
on the cover and light grey shadings on the inside with white stars interspersed.
Program Note: Inside Cover
Sol here was a strike. The writers went on strike Which was …strike-y. We believed in it and we felt good about it and, more
important, we felt RIGHT about it. But the downside was that the strike put a lot of people out of work for a long time. I put the
people we love and respect the most out of work – our crew members. The people who work on he crews put in the longest hours,
work the hardest and do more for us than most people who do not work in television realize. They are the backbone of any good
show. And, for me, they are the backbone of two good shows: Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.
We waned to do something for our crews. The actors wanted to do something, the writers wanted to do something, the executive
producers wanted to do something. We wanted to show our love and we wanted to raise some money. Because even though we
are starting production on tour shows again, many crew members, will never be able to make up the money lost in the strike. And
they have kids and mortgages and car payments and light bills. Thus, GOOD MEDICINE was born.
Good Medicine is our thank you. To the crews for their very hard work. .And to the fans for waiting so patiently during reruns. TR
Knight (known to most of you as George O’Malley) worked his tail off to make this happen. As did Grey’s writers Tony Phelan and
Krista Vernoff. As did Marti Noxon from Private Practice. And Betsy Beers (who works on both shows( did a great deal for bring it
together. And a lot of other people. Too many to name.
Right now, Audra MacDonald is backstage warming up for her four-time-Tony Winning Voice. Sara Ramirez has got a Tony in her
house as well and she’s getting ready to blow those magnificent pipes. Chandra Wilson and TR Knight are pacing back and forth
in the wings – and they both have Broadway-singing chops themselves. Paul Adelstein , Chris L0well, Tim Daly, Amy Brenneman-
they all have something special planned. Our lady of movies, Katherine Heigl is back there, excited and ready to go. The Chief Jim
Pickens has brought along his wife Gina – she’s a famous singer, you know. Sandra OH, Justin Chambers, Eric Dane, Chyler Leigh
and Brooke Smith have all got something going on for you. And Ellen Pompeo ( I call her “Elle”) is here to see all of you. There are
also a few special guests what we hope will make you happy. They are backstage doing a lot of pacing as well. Everyone is nervous.
But more than nervous, everyone is grateful. So very grateful to be working. So happy to be here with you. So thrilled to be able to
share this how. And so very very thankful that you came to see it. WE love our fans. WE love our crew. And we are happy to
provide, if only for one night, a little Good Medicine.
Thank you,
Shonda Rhimes
Creator and Executive Producer, Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.
At the end of the evening the stars exited and signed autographs for fans and took photos. Over all the show seemed to be a
lovely performance.

The skits were as follows:
Act one // Pd video. Msg // Katie Heighl // Sara Ramierez "meadowlark" // Ellen Pompeo // TR Knight "losing my mind" & "You could
drive a person crazy" // Eric Dane // Chandra Wilson "God bless the child" // Amy Brenenan // Paul Adelstein // Chyler and Justin //
Audra Mcdonald with Doug Perry//
Act two // Kate Walsh video // Taye Diggs // Loretta Devine // Tim Daly // Chris Lowell // James Pickens & Loretta Devine // Gina
Taylor with Joe Byrd "dr feelgood" // TRK Sara Justin Eric Sandra Katie // Audra // Shonda // Ensemble // Sara "Grateful" //
"WAIT! I couldn't make it to the event. Is there pictures or videos? Can I buy it?"
At this moment in time there is no word on whether or not this performance will be sold in retail. We hope that the powers that be
do decide to give the fans who were unable to attend a chance at seeing the show, and possibly using the profits from the
DVD/download sales to join in with the donations from that evening. If we hear anything about sales of GOOD MEDICINE, we'll
post it here.
