Main Street Theater (MST) is producing Julie Kramer’s adaptation of Rona Jaffe’s 1958 bestseller, The Best of Everything, about ambitious secretaries in the big city. “I adapted the book because I wanted to make roles for female performers that were funny, sharp and took up space,” shared Ms. Kramer. “I also wanted to make a point about how ironically timelessly the story portrayed women's lives and choices. Ten years later I'm a little heartbroken that it feels more relevant than ever. But I'm also thrilled that Main Street is bringing their signature commitment to thoughtful, provocative stories to this play and to the Houston community.”
