“I lost my virginity for fear of being rude.” A sharp wit with an acid tongue, Mrs. Parker was a brilliant writer, critic of the rich, advocate for the less fortunate. Martini in hand, Ms. Baumgarten, as Mrs. Parker, skewers the Jazz Age, her fellow Round Table writers, the cultural desert of Hollywood, her own tumultuous love life. Parker wrote of race relations, politics, sex when women didn’t do that.

WIT & WRATH played to sold-out audiences in New Orleans, D.C., Mobile, & I hope, Orlando!
