“A spunky satire of fame culture”- Village Voice
“Duarte has the makings of a young Carol Burnet”- The EsoCritic
“Your grandfather laughed. I don’t think he understood it, but he always likes your little antic.” - Amanda’s Mom
“Lucky Pink Wonderland” lies at the intersection of fame and rehab, a terrible and funny fever dream of a play that chronicles the struggles of What's-her-name, remembered by the public as Pinky Peppercorn, the child lead of the popular eponymous 1980's sitcom. What's-her-name's life has since become one long "Where Are They Now" segment- she has drifted for fifteen years on a sea of booze and drugs, to find herself washed up on the banks of the Hudson, a destitute yet too-familiar face, utterly alone in the madding crowd, trying to start over. As What's-her-name soldiers on through a landscape littered with wannabes, has-beens and never-beens, she asks herself whether fame is a dream or a nightmare, and either way, why can't she wake up?
