Laurie Beechman Theatre
At The West Bank Cafe, New York City, NY 10036
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 and her short stories, poems and reviews have been collected into several books. Whether she was penning scathing reviews, unforgettable one-liners or melancholic poetry, Parker’s unapologetic brilliance and biting humor made her a legend. Dorothy Parker—an intoxicating mix of biting social commentary and campy fabulousness that continues to sparkle like a glass of champagne. 

Finding Dorothy Parker is a sparkling review and whirlwind tour of Dorothy Parker’s hilarious and wise material performed by some of the funniest women on Broadway.
Off Broadway
Show Notes: There is a $25 food/drink minimum per person at the Laurie Beechman Theatre.
