Dorothy Parker Society

We have been buzzing about it for months, and A&E; is finally talking about Dash and Lilly, first reported in January. Live in New York? There is a billboard on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway with the two stars. Of course, Bebe Neuwirth plays Dorothy Parker, but she isn’t on the billboard, which is a drag. It…

We got a note from George Demas of the The Culture Project at the Algonquin Hotel. More Parker performed: He says that Social Note: An Evening with Dorothy Parker will be back in August for three weeks at the landmark hotel. As more information is available, it will be here. Maybe we can tie into…

Christine Hahn (left) and Susanna Hobrath star in Laughter and Hope and a Sock in the Eye, a great little show that is playing in New York next week. Make plans to attend a really enjoyable evening for Dorothy Parker fans. For three shows, May 3-5 at 6:30 p.m. at the Producers Club (358 W….

Are Dorothy Parker fans also Thomas Wolfe fans? We think some are. We got a note from Mark A. Moore of the North Carolina Division of Archives & History, and he works on the Wolfe web site in Asheville. It is among the best literary sites I’ve ever visited, and you should too. He has…

Courtney from Wellesley dropped us a line to say that Dash and Lilly, the A&E; cable movie about Dashiell Hammett and Lillian Hellman, will FINALLY air on May 31. I have been seeking info on the broadcast for months. Bebe Neuwirth is playing Dorothy Parker, as reported here in January. I saw her in Chicago…

Thanks to Yahoo! for including the Dot City link. Finally, it took four months, but it now appears! www.dorothyparker.com

News from The Algonquin Hotel: two evenings you won’t want to miss. First, on March 15 in the Oak Room is an all-Irish invocation of the Round Table in time for St. Patrick’s Day.
