Janette Johnston, who plays Dorothy Parker in “Encore Encore,” managed to discover that there is actually a Dorothy Parker Society in New York City! The society was founded in 1999 by Parker enthusiast Kevin Fitzpatrick.
The Dorothy Parker Society is an interesting place that holds special events to educate people about Dorothy Parker. They even conduct tours of places in New York City where Dorothy lived or frequented.
The mission of the society is:
- to promote the work of Dorothy Parker
- to introduce new readers to the work of Dorothy Parker
- to expand the fan base of Dorothy Parker
- to have as much fun as possible
- to take part in service projects in the spirit of Dorothy Parker
Mr. Firzpatrick has been so kind as to blog about the upcoming production of “Encore Encore” on his website – so please do check out his article!
