For one night only, Running With Scissors brings to life everyone’s favorite guilty pleasure: Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls! This staged reading is the company’s 2005 fundraiser and will be held Wednesday, June 29, at 8:00pm at One Eyed Jacks, 615 Toulouse Street.
Valley of the Dolls follows three very different young women as they enter the 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 (Flynn De Marco), 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 dreams—characters played by company regulars and special guests, including Roy Haylock, Marcy Hesseling, Jim Jeske, Rod Lemaire, Jack Long, Sean Patterson, Dane Rhodes, Todd Schaffer, and Ricky Graham, appearing as Helen Lawson, the blustery, belting, Broadway broad. The reading will include snippets from the film and some very special door prizes for guests! There’s no official dress code, but folks will have more fun if they’re dolled up for a far-out cocktail party circa 1967…
This staged reading of Valley of the Dolls will be performed on Wednesday, June 29 at 8:00pm at One Eyed Jacks, located at 615 Toulouse Street in the French Quarter. Tickets are $20 and may be reserved by calling 504 606 9903. Reservations are held until 15 minutes before curtain.
