Joan Allen, Lauren Ambrose, David Aaron Baker, and Dan Futterman took part in a reading of Daughter of the Queen of Sheba at the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College on Monday, October 17.
With a script by Jacki Lyden and Karen Croner, based on the memoir by Lyden, the play recounts Lyden’s experience growing up with a colorful and dramatic mother living with manic depression.
Proceeds from the event benefitted Fountain House, an internationally recognized organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with mental illness, with support from NPR.
