and I am Marie of Romania. That said, there's a whole lot of Dorothy Parker going on this weekend. First, from Gothamist, You Might as Well Live, a one-woman-Parker-channelling show from Karen Mason:

Details: You Might As Well Live plays twice more, on 9/30 at 8pm and 10/2 at 4:30pm. It’s at the 45th Street Theatre, 354 W. 45th St. Tickets are at Theatermania.

It's part of the much larger Parkerfest, the Dorothy Parker Society's annual splashy, ginny tonic. I hope to get to at least one of these parties, 'cause they look really fun. I also recommend the Algonquin Walking Tour—Kevin Fitzpatrick knows what he's talking about and it's an entertaining, vigorous, and actually educational walk for not just visitors but jaded New Yorkers, who might be surprised how many New Yorker and related landmarks they don't know. Here's the whole lineup, for which some tickets are still available, at the door or online.

Friday 5:30-7:30: We'll be at the Algonquin Hotel in the lobby for cocktails. Meet at the large rectangle table in the lobby on the south end. Open to all; RSVP to Kevin@dorothyparkerNYC.com.

We then walk a few blocks to:

Friday, 8:30 p.m.: You Might As Well Live, 45th Street Theatre, 354 West 45th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues. Part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival. It stars Broadway veteran Karen Mason (she originated the role of Tanya on Broadway in ABBA's Mamma Mia!). The show, which takes its title from Parker's famous poem "Resumé," will be directed by Guy Stroman and will feature a book by Norman Mathews, who set Parker's words to his music. Tickets are $15 each.

We then walk one block to:

Friday, 10:30 p.m.: "Dorothy Parker Cabaret Night" at Don't Tell Mama, 343 West 46th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenues. This is going to be such a fun show in one of Manhattan's favorite cabarets. Cindy Ball is performing her Helen Kane show (Helen was the basis for Betty Boop); and direct from Sweden, Sara Jangfeldt, performing Enough Rope , a jazz musical based on Dorothy Parker's work set to music. It has been performed in Stockholm and Moscow; this is the New York debut of the unique show. Tickets: $20 each + 2 drink minimum. Open to all; RSVP to Kevin@dorothyparkerNYC.com.

Saturday, Noon-2 p.m.: The Algonquin Round Table Walking Tour, The Algonquin Hotel. Trace the footsteps of The Vicious Circle through the Theatre District, Times Square, Rockefeller Center and Hell's Kitchen. Led by Kevin C. Fitzpatrick, DPSNY president and author of the upcoming book "A Journey into Dorothy Parker's New York." $15 for the walk. Lunch to follow at the Round Table; cost of lunch separate. Open to all; RSVP to Kevin@dorothyparkerNYC.com.

Sunday, noon: We have added a very special event at the Algonquin Hotel in the Oak Room. Don't miss this one. Sara Jangfeldt, an actress-singer from Stockholm, is coming to town and making her Oak Room debut on Sunday, Oct. 2. We are having a "jazz brunch" 12-2 p.m. with Sara's performance with her jazz trio at 2. She is presenting her show "Enough Rope" (in English & Swedish); which is a dozen Dorothy Parker pieces set to original jazz compositions. Sara has performed the show at Stockholm's Stadsteater, Gothenburg Opera, Gothenburg Stadsteater, in Moscow and Capri. How appropriate that she is singing it in the Oak Room, where the Round Table was founded? Sara is also singing classics and standards. To attend: $55 includes three-course brunch & show; or to skip the brunch, $30 cover + $15 minimum. To reserve tickets RSVP to Kevin@dorothyparkerNYC.com. Today's show is sponsored by the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. For more information about Sara: click here.

Sunday, 1:30-4:30 p.m.: Dorothy Parker Scavenger Hunt, The Algonquin Hotel Lobby. A debut! We've never tried this before!

Sunday, 7:30 p.m.: The Talk of the Town in the Oak Room; The Algonquin Hotel. Attend the hit musical based on the legendary Vicious Circle. The New Yorker says, "[The] well-crafted period-style songs are genuinely clever and the classic quips still crackle." Special discount to show tonight only: $40 with code DPS40 plus 2-drink minimum. Reserve tickets (mention Dorothy Parker Society): 212-419-9331 (sorry, no online tickets).
