An Evening with Actress Beverly Bonner

(NEW YORK CITY, MARCH 1, 2010) Renowned actress Beverly Bonner will be starring in a new weekly off-Broadway production entitled The Gloria Glitter Show, opening April 9th at the Broadway Comedy Club in New York City. A veteran actress, producer, playwright, director and stand-up comedienne, Ms. Bonner has appeared in such independent horror films as Basket Case, Frankenhooker ’90, and Brain Damage, as well as long running theatre production Women Behind Bars with the late, great Divine, and Time Warner/Comcast TV shows, “The Beverly Bonner Show” and “Beverly Bonner’s Laugh Track”. A blend of script and improv, Bonner stars as Gloria Glitter, the mature hostess of a low budget, late-night talk show. Though Gloria fancies herself the rival of Leno and Letterman, she ultimately lives up to the Glitter name --too much bling, too much make-up, and much too much drama. Ms. Glitter proclaims her loyalty to the old school of show business, where stars were judged by accomplishments, not over-the-top shenanigans on "reality" programming. “Why should I have gone to drama school and spent years developing my craft as an extra,” she says, “when all I had to do was stop wearing underwear, lift up my skirt in public and presto--I’m offered my own reality TV show!”
