Early 20th century writer, poet, and humorist Dorothy Parker will be celebrated with a new collection of her material at The Laurie Beechman Theatre. Finding Dorothy Parker, compiled and directed by Douglas Carter Beane (The Nance), will play a week-long engagement at the cabaret venue, performing September 2-4.

On hand to read Parker's own words will be Broadway favorites Julie Halston (Tootsie), Ann Harada (Avenue Q), Jackie Hoffman (The Addams Family), and Anika Larsen (Beautiful).

The performance will also feature music by Alistair Wroe (Prince Faggot).

Perhaps most infamous for her pithy wisecracks, Parker was one of the most prominent writers of the '20s through to the mid-century, writing for such outlets as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Life, and The Saturday Evening Post, along with publishing compendiums of short stories, poems, and reviews.

“I have always wanted to do an evening of Dorothy Parker with four of Broadway’s funniest ladies in the style of Don Juan in Hell,” says Beane in a statement. “Well we’re not in Hell now. We’re in Hell's Kitchen. So hello, Vagina Monologues and Love, Loss and What I Wore... Come meet your sassy sister!”
