Anti-Scientology Group to Picket Katie Holmes

A crippling strike shut down most Broadway shows during the 2007 holiday season--there's another reported protest looming but it is only targeted toward one show--an anti-Scientology group plans to stage a picket when Katie Holmes takes to the stage for her Broadway debut next month.

The former Dawson's Creek star is due to begin her run in Arthur Miller's All My Sons at New York's Gerald Schoenfeld Theater on October 16, 2008.

But it is feared her opening night will be marred by protests from the Anonymous campaign group, whose members plan on picketing the theater in
protest against the controversial religion according to WENN.

Holmes, who was raised as a Roman Catholic, converted to Scientology after meeting her husband Tom Cruise.

A spokesperson for the group tells MSNBC.com that the protest will go ahead, adding: "We aren't looking to shut it (All My Sons) down, we don't have the
power to do that, we just want to prove a point. We want to draw attention to Scientology, and hopefully get Katie out of it before it's too late.”

The Anonymous group is known for the faceless masks worn by members, and recently picketed the Scientology Centre in New York.
