Miss seeing East Lynne Theater Company’s world premiere of “Dorothy Parker: A Certain Woman” last fall?  Good news!  She show is running from June 15 – July 23, Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8:30 PM at The Cape May Presbyterian Church, 500 Hughes Street, Cape May, NJ.

This one-woman show tells the story of one of America’s wittiest writers, poets and critics, who also happened to be a human rights activist and philanthropist. A collection of her work, “The Portable Dorothy Parker,” has never been out of print.
