Wendy Wasserstein News

Julie Salamon, author of "Wendy and the Lost Boys," a biography of Pulitzer prize winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein, is this year's Friends of the Port Washington Public Library's Book & Author Luncheon.

As previously reported, the Tony Award's Administration Committee has announced that Theatre Development Fund 's Open Doors program will be among those honored with a special 2012 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre.

In her preface to the script of "The Sisters Rosensweig," Wendy Wasserstein acknowledges the influences of Chekhov, Kaufman and Hart, and Noel Coward: witty repartee, self-dramatizing by quirky characters, and a delicious tension between silliness and sorrow.

A Being a librarian at the Swampscott Public Library and moderating a number of book groups, I am always being asked for suggestions of what to read.A I'll meet someone in Vinnin Sqauare, we start talking, and eventually the question of books will come up.A Try as I may, I am not always able to remember all the books I have read recently.

"The Uncommon Life of Wendy Wasserstein" is on view at the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum in South Hadley.
