Running With Scissors Presents VALLEY OF THE DOLLS Through 7/5

By: Jun. 25, 2009

We don't know what's so funny about catfights, big wigs, cheesy lounge singers, French art films, and Hollywood melodrama, but we're not complaining! The response to our first two weeks of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS has been great, and we've only got two weeks--just six performances--left. Don't miss it!

One part homage, one part parody, Running With Scissors' adaptation of Jacqueline Susann's camp classic follows three very different young women as they enter the tantalizing, treacherous world of show-biz: Anne Welles (Brian Peterson), a WASPy good girl in search of true love; Jennifer North (Dorian Rush), a knockout model with seriously bad luck; and Neely O'Hara (Lisa Picone), a crass cutie who'd crawl over her own mother for a starring role-or a stiff drink. A cavalcade of characters stands between these three and their glittery dreams-nosy secretaries, invalid lounge singers, and of course, Helen Lawson (Bob Edes Jr.), a particularly blousy Broadway babe who's been around the block. The production also stars Brad Caldwell, Jack Long, and Dwayne Sepcich. Costumes are by Kate Jensen and Brian Peterson; sets by Brad Caldwell; props by Liz Zibilich. The script was adapted by the company from Susann's novel, the subsequent movie, and other fabulous sources.
