An evening celebrating the wit and wisdom of Dorothy Parker, entitled, Finding Dorothy Parker, will play three performances, Tuesday, September 2 to Thursday, September 4, at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at 7 PM each evening.
Finding Dorothy Parker is a revue and whirlwind tour of Dorothy Parker’s hilarious and wise material performed by some of the funniest women on Broadway. Compiled and directed by five-time Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane, the evening features an all-star ensemble of Broadway favorites: Tony Award honoree Julie Halston, Ann Harada, Jackie Hoffman and Tony Award nominee Anika Larsen. Music is by composer Alistair Wroe.
Dorothy Parker was the razor-sharp wit of the Roaring Twenties, a cocktail-sipping literary firecracker who made her mark with her words and her style. Parker’s dazzling wit graced the pages of Vanity Fair (where she was a staff writer and theater critic), The New Yorker (where she was one of its earliest contributors), Vogue, Life, The Saturday Evening Post. Her short stories, poems and reviews have been collected into several books.
