The Rise of Dorothy Hale to Close 1/27

The off-Broadway production of The Rise Of Dorothy Hale will play its final performance on January 27 at St. Luke's Theatre. The mystery/thriller by Myra Bairstow will have played 12 previews and 137 performances, directed by Pamela Hall.

History has recorded that Dorothy Hale, the widow of American muralist Gardner Hale, died in New York City on October 21, 1938, after plunging 16 stories from her apartment window at the Hampshire House on Central Park South. She was 33 years old, and her death was ruled a suicide. The Rise of Dorothy Hale explores the life and death of this little-known historical figure.

The current cast of The Rise of Dorothy Hale includes Purva Bedi, Patrick Boll, Dina Ann Comolli, Laura Koffman, Stuart Marshall and Larry Sharp.
