[NEohioPAL] WordStage presents "At Wit's End - an Afternoon at the Algonquin Round Table

[Tim Tavcar]

WordStage Literary Concerts opens its Fall series of performances on
Saturday, September 23rd   at 7: 00 p.m. in the Wright Chapel of the
Lakewood Presbyterian Church, 14502 Detroit Avenue in Lakewood, OH with a
literary celebration of four core members of the infamous Algonquin Hotel
Round Table from 1919 to 1929.
Join Dorothy Parker, Alexander Woollcott, Edna Ferber and Robert Benchley
as they trade witty barbs, share scintillating conversation and challenge
each other via a public reading of their individual short stories as they
while away a rainy afternoon at their favorite rendezvous, Manhattan’s
famous and storied Algonquin Hotel Dining Room.  Their razor-sharp wits,
and clever literary creations will be enhanced by solo piano works of
George Gershwin, a favorite guest artist at the “Algonks” gatherings.
The cast features Agnes Herrmann as Dorothy Parker, Paul Slimak as Robert
Benchley, Leslie Stager as Edna Ferber and Tim Tavcar as Alexander
Woollcott.  The program will be enhanced by a selection of piano
compositions by George Gershwinplayed by Micheal Limoli.
