Carol Lawrence, Donna McKechnie, and Stephanie Wright Thompson will star in Joni Fritz’s new play Girl’s Room, to run November 30- December 9 at Queens Theatre in the Park. The production will be directed by Lynne Taylor-Corbett.

Set in the suburbs outside of New York City, Girl’s Room centers on a young ballet dancer about to break into the big-time but has another kind of break — an accident that could end her career. Fritz has had productions of her work in several theaters in the New York area, including Ensemble Studio Theatre, the Women’s Theatre Company, What Exit Theatre, and Dreamcatcher Repertory Theatre.

Taylor-Corbett was nominated for two Tony Awards for direction and choreography of Broadway’s Swing! Her other Broadway credits include Jackie, Chess, and Titanic.
