And for once it wasn’t due to injury! Natalie Mendoza — who plays the villainous Arachne in the Julie Taymor musical — is leaving Turn Off the Dark , two people who work on the show told New York Times . You’ll recall that Mendoza suffered a concussion during the first performance of Turn Off the Dark last month, and that she was very vocal following the injury to actor Christopher Tierney. “Please pray with me for my friend Chris, my superhero who quietly inspires me everyday with his spirit,” she wrote on Twitter after Tierney fell during the Dec. 20 performance. “A light in my heart went dim tonight.” Mendoza hasn’t appeared on stage since that incident.
