“Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End” is a funny, touching one-woman comedy based on the writings of long time Valley resident Erma Bombeck. It’s a comic look at one of our country’s most beloved voices, as Erma (Cathy Dresbach) tells her own story and leads the audience through her years as a mother and housewife who lampooned life in the suburbs in her weekly (then tri-weekly, then heavily syndicated) newspaper column called “At Wit’s End.” Erma captured frustrations of her generation by asking, “If life is a bowl of cherries, what am I doing in the pits?” Discover the story behind America’s beloved humorist who championed women’s lives with wit that sprang from the most unexpected place of all—the truth.

“Erma Bombeck: At Wit’s End” is produced by Anne Kelleher, directed by Ben Tyler, and stars Cathy Dresbach as Erma Bombeck. Produced through special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
