Carrie Fisher will perform her autobiographical solo show Wishful Drinking at the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC), on Friday, June 25 at 8pm and Saturday, June 26 at 2pm and 8pm.

In the piece, Fisher recounts the true and intoxicating tale of her life as a Hollywood legend — the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, who became a cultural icon when she starred as “Princess Leia” in the first Star Wars trilogy at 19 years old.

Fisher recently received Drama Desk, Drama League, and Outer Critics Circle nominations for her performance in the Broadway production of Wishful Drinking.
