place in New York City<i> </i>(in Greenwich Village and on the Upper West Side
of Manhattan) between the years 1989 to 1991. The play's central character is
Gladys, the elderly matriarch of the Green family, who has run an art gallery
in a small Greenwich Village hotel for many years. The management wants to
replace her less-than-thriving gallery with a coffee shop. Always irascible but
now increasingly erratic, Gladys is a cause of concern to her daughter, her
son-in-law and her grandson, from whose point of view this poignant memory play
is told. A wacky and heartrending look at the effect of senility on a family, <i>The
Waverly Gallery</i> was a success at New York's off-Broadway Promenade Theatre,
winning an Obie for legendary Eileen Heckart in the role of Gladys.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:13.0pt;

2000. Among its many honors, <i>The Waverly Gallery</i> was a finalist for the
2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The legendary Eileen Heckart originated the
role of Gladys, and her performance earned her the following awards:
The 2000 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Actress, the 2000 Drama Desk
Award for Outstanding Actress, The 1999-2000 OBIE Award for
Performance, The 1999-2000 Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Actress
