| Tony winner Bernadette Peters. |
Two-time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters will celebrate the recent release of her best-selling children's book, "Broadway Barks," at two book-signing events in Washington, DC.
Peters will autograph copies of "Broadway Barks" June 27 at Politics and Prose beginning at 4:30 PM. The book store is located at 5015 Connecticut Avenue NW. On June 28 the singing actress, who recently filmed a role opposite Harry Connick Jr. in the new Lifetime film "Living Proof," will sign her new tome from 2:30-5:30 PM at the Hall of States Gift Shop, which is located within The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts at 2700 F Street, NW.
Peters' "Broadway Barks," which features illustrations by Liz Murphy, was released in late April on the Blue Apple Books label and boasts a CD featuring a lively reading of the story by Peters and a song ("Kramer's Song") penned by the Tony-winning Annie Get Your Gun and Song & Dance star. The children's book, the tale of a down-on-his-luck, yet scrappy dog named Kramer, benefits Broadway Barks, the charitable organization co-founded by Peters and good friend Mary Tyler Moore over a decade ago. Broadway Barks 10! is scheduled for July 12 in Shubert Alley.
