Some 30 protesters remained outside the theater for Katie Holme's first performance.

As most of you have heard, Katie Holmes's new Broadway show debuted this week at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre. Arthur Miller's *All My Sons* did not bring in as much ticket sales as expected, possibly due to the star of the show.  
  
Last week, there were about 30 protestors outside of the theater. Were they there to protest Katie Holmes, you ask? No, they were there as an anti-Scientology group trying to save her! The demonstrators yelled "Free Katie, Keep Tom," reported the *L.A. Times*.  
  
When confronted by the *New York Daily News*, one protestor said, "We aren't protesting Katie. But Scientology is a cult and once you become a member you can't leave, and we've heard that Katie isn't able to leave because of Tom Cruise."  
  
On the bright side, the audience actually enjoyed her performance. Not surprisingly, Tom Cruise said her performance was "extraordinary," according to the *L.A. Times*.
