Following last summers sold out run at The Edye, writer/performer Barra Grant is back with her darkly hilarious mother-daughter story: the true, inside tale of Grants seismic relationship with her mother, Bess Myerson. A beauty queen best known as the first and only Jewish Miss America, Myerson was an accomplished pianist, television personality, New York Citys first Commissioner of Consumer Affairs, a close advisor to Mayor Ed Koch, and a national spokesperson against anti-Semitism. Then, she infamously went down in flames with her Mafia boyfriend! in a judge-bribing scandal known as the Bess Mess. If you missed Grants fascinating tale about being a confused ugly duckling growing up in the shadow of her spectacular mother, heres your chance.

BWW Interview: Barra Grant's Not Her MISS AMERICA Mother's DAUGHTER

January 29, 2019

Being the daughter of the first Jewish Miss America, Barra Grant sailed through her childhood rebellious and harboring a contentious relationship with mom Bess Myerson. Not until Barra had a daughter of her own, did she understand her mom's methods more clearly. Barra has turned her lemon of her childhood experience into the lemonade of her theatre piece MISS AMERICA'S UGLY DAUGHTER, which begins February 8, 2019 at the Greenway Court Theatre. I had the chance to illicit some bon mots from this enduring writer/performer.
