Critically Acclaimed Hit Show ANNIE KORZEN FAMOUS ACTRESS Extended for Second Time

"Annie Korzen Famous Actress," the new, original one-woman show that the critics say gives "a hilarious take on life topics," is now extended through October 22 at the Braid, home of Jewish Women's Theatre (JWT) in Santa Monica.

Korzen continues to delight packed audiences. After the show, for example, audience member Treva Silverman, one of the original writers of The Mary Tyler Moore Show, commented, "I was knocked out by Annie's show. I always knew she was funny and poignant and insightful -but this is - a triumph."

Korzen, whom the Huffington Post describes as the "Get a Laugh on One Line Specialist," is best known for playing Doris Klumpus on Seinfeld. Throughout the summer, she has been entertaining audiences with her intimate, hilarious and poignant stories of her life as a perennial bit player, an exasperated daughter and an agitated mother.

Originally scheduled to conclude its run in early August, the show is now exended for the second time to accommodate audience demand. An additional 3 weeks of shows are scheduled until October 22.

Annie's fans include Sex and the City executive producer Cindy Chupak who says, "I love every story Annie tells - she will make you laugh, cry and nod in recognition. Between laughs she is able to capture gorgeous, surprising, life-affirming truths." Annabelle Gurwitch, New York Times best-selling author adds, "Annie's late-in-life success story keeps us in stitches and occasionally brings us to tears." And Transparent creator Jill Soloway calls Annie, "Hilarious, brilliant and a true inspiration."

Annie Korzen Famous Actress will continue its limited run on Thursday and Saturday evenings at 8 PM and in Sunday matinees at 2 PM. The full schedule is available online. Advance-sale tickets are $40 and may be obtained at www.jewishwomenstheatre.org.
