"And as I started reaching deeper I realized that most of the blues of that day was done by men. Women just didn't have the nerve." ~Etta James~
"Auntie Mame" by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee is now playing on the Mainstage of the Long Beach Playhouse and runs through October 25th.
This American classic tells the story of Mame Dennis, a handsome, sparkling, scatterbrained and warm-hearted lady who brightened the American landscape with her whimsical gaiety, her slightly madcap adventures and her devotion to her young nephew. In her own words, "Life is a banquet and most suckers are starving to death!"
