Writer and performer Jenny Allen takes the stage at City Theatre in this one-night-only event, sharing humorous stories about her life and excerpts from her performance about surviving ovarian cancer. Her latest collection of essays, Would Everybody Please Stop?, explores everything from chemotherapy to empty nesting, with her signature wry humor. Allen’s award-winning solo show, I Got Sick and Then I Got Better, has been seen in venues across the country, and her writing has been published in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Vogue, The Huffington Post, and many more; Andy Borowitz calls her “One of the funniest writers in America.” Allen’s daughter, Halley Feiffer, is the playwright of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecologic Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center of New York City, on stage at City Theatre September 23 – October 15, 2017. Attendees will receive a copy of Would Everybody Please Stop? Presented in partnership with Classic Lines Bookstore.
