COMEDIAN/WRITER DENA BLIZZARD STARS IN “ONE FUNNY MOTHER”
THE HILARIOUS OFF BROADWAY SOLO COMEDY AT BUCKS COUNTY PLAYHOUSE MARCH 2 - MARCH 12, 2017
New Hope, PA (February 24, 2017) – Comedian/writer, former Miss New Jersey and married mother of three, Dena Blizzard stars in “One Funny Mother” from March 2 through March 12, 2017 at Bucks County Playhouse as part of their Visiting Artists Series. Her hilarious solo comedy show focuses on the trials and tribulations of motherhood and marriage. “One Funny Mother” is an Off Broadway hit currently touring the United States that was recently named “Best One Woman Show” at the 2015 United Solo Festival in New York City.
This outrageous, side-splitting 80 minutes of sass follows Dena’s hilarious journey through her day as she prepares for her big “Girls Night Out.” Along the way, she laments how her life and marriage have changed since becoming a mother of three, wrestling with the eternal question, “Have I gone crazy since having these kids?” The answer is a hysterical, “laugh ’til your face hurts” comedy that you won’t want to miss! “One Funny Mother” is for everyone – women looking for their own night out with the girls or Date Night. The show is perfect for anyone who IS a mom, HAS a mom, or is MARRIED to a mom.
Blizzard wrote, produced and stars in “One Funny Mother”. Additionally, Blizzard is frequently seen on television. She has been a co-host and warm-up comedian for the Anderson Cooper and she was a radio host on NJ 101.5. She is Executive Producer/Host of her Facebook Live shows, “Chardonnay Go” and “Tipsy Tuesday.” Dena is a host of corporate conferences and keynote speaker, as well as, an inventor, with her first board game launching now called Chardonnay Go, for wine lovers, moms and other “shameless people”.

ABOUT BUCKS COUNTY PLAYHOUSE
Bucks County Playhouse, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, is the oldest and largest professional Equity performing arts center in Bucks County. Under the direction of Tony Award-winning producers, Alexander Fraser and Robyn Goodman, the Playhouse provides first class professional theatrical entertainment as well as community events, partnerships and arts education programming for visitors and residents of New Hope, Doylestown, Lambertville and the Delaware Valley.
Located between Philadelphia and New York, Bucks County Playhouse opened in 1939 in a converted 1790 gristmill after a group of community activists, led by Broadway orchestrator Don Walker and playwright Moss Hart, rallied to save the building. The Playhouse quickly became one of the country’s most famous regional theaters, featuring a roster of American theatrical royalty including Helen Hayes, Kitty Carlisle, George S. Kaufman, Grace Kelly, Robert Redford, Bert Lahr, Walter Matthau, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Alan Alda, Tyne Daly, Liza Minnelli and Audra McDonald and remained in continuous operation until December 2010. In 2012, the Playhouse re-opened thanks to the efforts of the Bridge Street Foundation, the nonprofit family foundation of Kevin and Sherri Daugherty, and Broadway producer Jed Bernstein.
Since its renovation, significant productions include Terrence McNally’s “Mothers and Sons” starring Tyne Daly, which moved to Broadway and was nominated for two Tony Awards, and “Misery” by William Goldman based on the Stephen King novel which also went on to a Broadway run in the 2015-16 season. Two of the Playhouse’s recent productions -- “Company” starring Justin Guarini, and William Finn’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” -- were named by Wall Street Journal to its “Best of Theatre” list for 2015. The Playhouse’s productions of “Steel Magnolias” and “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story” broke box office records in 2016.
