Miss Lulu Bett at Sierra Madre Playhouse

As the next entry in its Off The Page series of free monthly play readings, Sierra Madre Playhouse will present the comedy Miss Lulu Bett, the first play written by a woman to win the Pulitzer Prize, in 1921.
. In this rarely seen play, Miss Lulu Bett is a spinster of thirty-three who does all the work for her sister’s demanding family. When her brother-in-law’s brother arrives for a visit, the two are accidentally married in a ceremony that is intended as a joke but turns out to be valid. At once sentimental and sharply satirical, this drawing-room comedy about the uncertain emancipation of lonely Miss Lulu makes for a very funny evening, without scanting the feminist underpinning.
