Beat the heat by ducking into a cool theatre this summer to catch a new production based on Dorothy Parker material. It is part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival, which runs July 16 to August 5.
Those Whistling Lads: The Poems and Short Stories of Dorothy Parker is from playwright Maureen Van Trease. She says, “Let Dorothy and six lovely young men and women show you how – and how not – to handle them.” The Parker stories presented include “Here We Are”, “The Sexes”, “A Telephone Call” (as you’ve never imagined it), “Dusk Before Fireworks”, and “You Were Perfectly Fine”.
The staged reading is Friday, August 3rd, 1:30 pm at 312 West 36th St., 4th Floor, the Mainstage. Free Admission.
