Singer/Actor Cynthia Vaughn and pianist Holly Harty perform a private house concert of Songs and Readings from "The Portable Dorothy Parker", including selections from Seymour Barab's "Songs of Perfect Propriety."

Item Special Note
DOROTHY PARKER (1893-1967) dominated American popular literature in the 1920s and 1930s. Her witty and sarcastic poems, short stories, and reviews were published in The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and Vogue. She garnered two Academy Award nominations for screenwriting until she was added to the infamous Hollywood Blacklist. "The Portable Dorothy Parker", a 1944 collection of some of her best writings is still a best-seller. More Dorothy Parker quotes: "The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and sharpen my tongue." "If you want to know what God thinks of money, just look at the people he gave it to." "Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clean to the bone." "Don't look at me in that tone of voice," CYNTHIA VAUGHN has performed professional musical theater, opera, and oratorio in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Cincinnati, and Denver. Recent performances at Midtown Arts Center in Colorado include Mother Abbess/The Sound of Music; Aunt Eller/Oklahoma!; Martha/White Christmas; BirdWoman, Miss Andrew/Mary Poppins.
