Wasserstein library appearance rescheduled for January

Playwright Wendy Wasserstein’s appearance tonight at the Newport

Beach Public Library has been rescheduled to January because of

illness.

The Tony Award winner, best known for “The Heidi Chronicles” and

“Uncommon Women and Others,” seems to have come down with a case of

the flu, said Tracy Keys, executive director of the Newport Beach

Public Library Foundation.

Wasserstein’s appearance will now take place at 7 p.m. Jan. 23.

People with reservations for tonight will be automatically placed on

the reservation list for the rescheduled talk.

Those attending will receive a complimentary copy of Wasserstein’s

new book, “Shiksa Goddess, Or How I Spent My Forties.”
