Created and performed by the acclaimed actress and playwright Carol Lempert, The New York Times hailed her work, That Dorothy Parker, “A witty, biting, touching slice of literary history.” As directed by Janice L. Goldberg in a brisk 90-minutes, That Dorothy Parker weaves the story of its trailblazing writer via her stinging wit, fierce intellect, and passionate relationships (both literary and intimate) with stories from the decade she spent holding court at Manhattan’s legendary Algonquin Round Table.

The creature was seen in the East End and then, minutes later, in the West End, arguing for wings on its feet.
