Article courtesy the Daily Press: Mamie Gummer has been named the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation’s first artist-in-residence. Beginning May 1, Gummer will star as Lady Dunmore in a new Revolutionary Story scene titled “Lady Dunmore Prepares for the Ball.” Fully costumed in 18th-century attire and working from a script based on historical fact, Gummer will appear at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. that day in an open air theater on the grounds of the Governor’s Palace. Both of Gummer’s performances require a Colonial Williamsburg admission ticket or Good Neighbor Pass. Guests may make reservations by calling 229-2141, and can pick up their reserved ticket at any CW ticket sales location. The scene takes place on May 26, 1774, and centers on Lady Dunmore’s preparation for the official welcome ball held in her honor at the Capitol. Lady Dunmore was the wife of John Murray, the Fourth Earl of Dunmore. When Dunmore was appointed governor of Virginia in 1774, Lady Dunmore joined her husband in America. Gummer is the first of several actors who will participate in the new artist-in-residence program. The program is designed to provided artists who love history the opportunity to appear in the interactive “street theater” offered daily in CW’s Historic Area. Said Gummer,

I’m very excited to return to Williamsburg and perform in such a unique educational setting

More information on the television show courtesy the Fulton Critic: Jose Julian has joined the cast of the drama pilot, about three doctors who leave the comfort of the U.S. to work at an isolated tropical clinic. He’ll play Charlie, the team’s local guide and translator. Meanwhile, co-star Mamie Gummer’s role has been clarified as Meena Mital. Said character was originally written for someone of Indian-American descent. She’s detailed as “sexy, grew up extremely poor but you’d never know it; she’s unapologetically arrogant, talks a really good game – her only sign of weakness is an asthma inhaler.” Caroline Dhavernas, Enrique Murciano, Jason George, Martin Henderson and Valerie Cruz also star in the ABC Studios-based hour, which comes from creator Jenna Bans and director Daniel Minahan.

The official website for “The Lightkeepers” has been updated with a new layout and lots of new features, including some brand-new Mamie stills. Be sure to have a look. All new pictures have been uploaded to the Image Library as well.

According to TV Guide, Mamie Gummer has been cast in Shonda Rhimes’ new medical drama Off the Map. Gummer, who recently guest-starred in The Good Wife, will play Mina Minard, the third in the trio of doctors who leave the U.S. to work in a South American medical clinic. The pilot centers on Mina, Lily (Caroline Dhavernas) and Manny (Enrique Murciano), who each are trying to leave behind spotted pasts. Jason George, Martin Henderson and Valerie Cruz also star.
