Dorothy’s Dictionary
By E.M. Lewis
Dorothy’s Dictionary
By E.M. LewisA troubled teen. A fiercely independent woman. One unforgettable connection. What begins as a clash of wills turns into an unexpected bond that transforms them both. In Dorothy’s Dictionary, a beautifully written play full of spark and surprise, two strangers connect through books, conversation, and curiosity.
Featuring outstanding performances that bring humor, heart, and humanity to the stage, this story celebrates the power of connection and the moments that change us forever.
Called “inspiring,” “unforgettable,” and “captivating from start to finish” by audiences, Dorothy’s Dictionary is a moving tribute to the friendships that shape us and the words that bring us together.
