Mary Dimino Brings BIG DUMMY To Inspir Carnegie Hill This Weekend

Inspīr Carnegie Hill will present the award-winning one woman show BIG DUMMY, written & performed by comedian Mary Dimino, winner of a United Solo of Theatre Row award this Saturday June 25th at 8pm.

Starting last Father's Day, Inspīr Carnegie mounted the critically acclaimed father-daughter themed one woman show BIG DUMMY: Me & My Old Man. The final showing is Saturday June 25th.

Dimino continues to entertain audiences with her solo play about what it was like "growing up smarter than her father in a funny, factory-working family from Queens." In BIG DUMMY, Dimino recalls her father's simple philosophy on life, which she interpreted to be a cross between Aristotle and Forrest Gump. It took Dimino becoming an adult to realize that her very different dad is brilliant, as is. The endearing Father's Day special event will be held at their Sky Park Lounge, a space complete with floor to ceiling windows that boast spectacular East River and city views.
