Ron Crawford and Marie Wallace in THE LAST ROMANCE.

Marie Wallace (who played Eve, Crazy Jenny and other characters on DARK SHADOWS) was injured Saturday night during a performance of "THE LAST ROMANCE" at the Seven Angels Theatre in Waterbury, Conn.

Wallace was injured in a fall immediately after a stage blackout at the end of the play's first act. Wallace lost her footing in the darkness and fell down the stage stairs, according to The Republican American. While sympathy notices have begun to appear on the actress's Facebook page, no formal announcement has been made about her condition.

The production launched the theater's 22nd season, which began Oct. 18.

UPDATE: Marie Wallace posted a comment on Facebook this afternoon about her injury:

"Thank you to all my wonderful friends and fans who have sent me so many healing and loving messages. I'm in great hands in a New York hospital with a great surgeon who will be operating on my smashed right shoulder this afternoon. I know all your prayers will help to make it a speedy recovery."
