For a summer special, the Magic Theatre has snagged Joan Rivers, who will star in a workshop production of her new autobiographical play. Co-authored with Doug Bernstein and Denis Markell, the tentatively titled Joan Rivers Theatre Project is set in a dressing room just before Hollywoodճ biggest award show, as Joan must muster all her strength and ingenuity to survive yet another year under the thumb of a new network executive.
The creative team, led by director Mark Rucker, will continue developing the piece through its Aug. 21-Sept. 2 run, and performances will be followed by a talkback with Rivers as a part of the process. Critics, however, will not be invited to weigh in.
Two special preview performances will benefit organizations that address issues affecting the LGBT community in the Bay Area. The Aug. 16 performance will benefit Positive Resource Center, and the Aug. 17 performance benefits Magnet. Call 441-8822 or go to magictheatre.org.
