New York City
The Patsy
Originally produced on Broadway in 1925 as a feisty living room comedy by Barry Conners and immortalized on film by the brilliant Marion Davies and Marie Dressler. Transport Group’s affectionate new adaptation, performed by Obie Award-winner David Greenspan, playfully resurrects this Cinderella story of a girl who is a little less beautiful and a little less loved and her fractious, gossipy family. Filled with familial intrigue, marital sparring, lovers in pursuit, country club scandals and labors of the heart, Transport Group’s The Patsy explores one family’s aspirations of wealth, status, and love in pre-depression America through one astonishing and virtuosic performer.
Please note: On most nights, Jonas will be performed as a double feature following The Patsy. See Schedule for more details
