New York, NY -- Mae West is still the Queen of Kings County. About.com's Brooklyn Guide Wendy Zarganis has been thinking about Bushwick Avenue's vaudevillian Mae West on the 25th anniversary of her passing. In her latest column, Zarganis noted that dramatist LindaAnn Loschiavo will offer excerpts from her play "Courting Mae West" (based on true events in Manhattan during the 1920s) at the Mae West Birthday Gala taking place on Wednesday, August 17th at Bill's Gay Nineties on East 54th Street.
.
According to Zarganis, Loschiavo's play reveals the rarely-seen, emotional side of the Brooklyn-born Mae West. Buy tickets before July 23rd to receive an advance ticket discount. See the link for details or email ComeUpSeeMae@aol.com. Wendy Zarganis wrote: "Loschiavo's blog is a must-read for lovers of Mae West and of New York in the Roaring '20s."
