WIT & WRATH: The Life & Times of Dorothy Parker

MissClaudiaPresents —Planetarium

Claudia Baumgarten joins us for the first time all the way from New Orleans to present her work about legendary writer and critic Dorothy Parker. She sets the mood with props and a dress from that era as she takes on the persona of Parker. She does a great job of presenting Parker’s history (both professional and personal) and includes readings of her poems, criticisms and other witty remarks. An entertaining display that piqued an already budding interest in the writings of Parker.
