Meet the Cast and Crew of Six Joan Crawfords: Playwright Mike Broemmel

DENVER - June 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Six Joan Crawfords by Mike Broemmel is the tale of a half dozen has-been divas who star in a faltering stage play, Miss Tangerine’s Diary, as it tours from Toledo to Topeka to Tupelo. Enormous egos and lack of introspection abound, resulting in comedic turns from one scene to the next. The comedy unfolds backstage, over the course of a trio of acts set in three separate cities.

A character study, Six Joan Crawfords features six women who view themselves as larger than life despite life largely leaving them behind. Six Joan Crawfords is an original play, premiering with this production. It is also the inaugural production to be staged at the West End Theatre and Arts Center in Lakewood at the 40 West Arts District.

In addition to writing Six Joan Crawfords, Mike also authored The Row, The Baptism and Goddess People, all plays currently in production in different U.S. cities. His collection of short fiction entitled The Shadow Cast has just been re-released this month. His latest novel, entitled Vine Dancing, is slated for release later this year. Earlier this spring, he played the role of Tennessee Williams in a festival featuring that playwright’s work.
