An Evening of the Spoken Word

Dorothy Parker

Invitation to all Performance Readers


We invite you to join us for an entertaining evening of spoken word at our upcoming event celebrating the extraordinary works of Dorothy Parker. As we delve into the depths of her poetic brilliance, we seek performance readers who can breathe life into her thoughtful verses.


Dorothy Parker, a literary icon of the 20th century, was a wordsmith like no other. Her life was as fascinating as her artistry. Through her poetry, short stories, and wit, Parker carved a niche for herself in the realm of literature, capturing the essence of an era with her incisive observations and razor-sharp humor.


Her words were both a balm for the soul and a mirror to society. With unparalleled grace and poetic prowess, Parker explored the complexities of love, the struggles of the human condition, and the fragility of the human heart. Her verses possessed a rare combination of elegance, vulnerability, and biting satire, creating a tapestry of emotions that continues to resonate with audiences to this day.


As producer, we’ve made a decision that we will only be selecting women performance readers for this event As a performer, you have the opportunity to give voice to the poignant narratives she crafted, allowing her literary genius to ignite the hearts and minds of listeners.
