Nominated for five 2021 BroadwayWorld New Jersey Regional Awards – Best Play, Best New Play, Best Production of a Play (In Person), Best Performance in a Play and Best Director – this one-woman show tells the story of one of America’s wittiest writers, poets and critics, who also happened to be a human rights activist and philanthropist. A collection of her work, The Portable Dorothy Parker, has never been out of print. 
 
Starring Suzanne Dawson, “Dorothy Parker: A Certain Woman” was compiled by James Rana and dramaturged and directed by Gayle Stahlhuth.  Bits about Parker’s life are intertwined with her poetry and stories, such as “A Telephone Call," “Interior Desecration,” and “Lady with the Lamp.”
 
Visit https://tinyurl.com/dparkervideo to buy tickets. Price is a minimum of $15, with the option to give more. Half of every ticket sold will be donated to the NAACP, the organization to which Parker bequeathed her estate upon the death of her initial beneficiary, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
Suzanne Dawson has taken on several roles in ELTC productions, including Aunt Abby in “Arsenic and Old Lace” for which she received an excellent review from Terry Teachout in “The Wall Street Journal.” New York credits include “CBS Live” and “The Great American Backstage Musical.” A few of her many regional productions are “Sylvia” at Florida Studio Theatre and “Rumors” at Paper Mill Playhouse in NJ. She then toured with “Rumors,” and opposite Gavin Macleod in “Last of the Red Hot Lovers.” 
 
James Rana, currently in the national tour of “The Band’s Visit,” has been with this Tony Award-winning musical since the first day of rehearsal for the Broadway production. Over the years, he’s appeared in several ELTC productions including “Dracula” and “Strictly Dishonorable.” Works he’s written for the company include “A Year in the Trenches” that was commissioned by The New Jersey Historical Society. 
 
Artistic Director Gayle Stahlhuth has performed Off-Broadway, in regional theaters, and in film and television.  Since 1999 she has been Artistic Director of ELTC, producing over 100 different plays and musicals for this company, and directed most of them.
