Perhaps you’ve seen her in the classic movie A New Leaf with Walter Matthau. Or, you’ve probably seen one of the many films she helped write, such as Primary Colors, Tootsie or The Birdcage. Or those of you of a certain age may have seen her on Broadway in 1960 when she co-starred with her comedic partner Mike Nichols. However you know her, you must know how funny and sharp a performer Elaine May has been throughout her career. And now at age 85, the playwright Kenneth Lonergan has determined to put May back on stage in the Broadway premiere of his play Waverly Gallery, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 1991. May will play the role of Gladys, an old-school activist and gallery owner coming to grips with her life as Alzheimer’s takes hold. Tickets are on sale now, and you can read more about the production Here.
