The Hanover Theatre Repertory (THT Rep) has announced an intimate play with music, Who Is Eartha Mae?, which will run from April 8–19 at the BrickBox Theater in Worcester.
The one-woman show is created by and stars the award-winning theatre artist Jade Wheeler. It delves into the extraordinary life of the iconic performer Eartha Kitt, whose career spanned Broadway, film, television, and music, including the classic hit “Santa Baby.” Kitt was famously celebrated by Orson Welles as the “most exciting woman in the world.”
