Entertainment Central Pittsburgh: Seeking respite from the culture wars and disasters both natural and manmade, I decided to attend the opening night performance of City Theatre’s A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Gynecological Oncology Unit at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center of New York. The play is by the talented young playwright and actress, Halley Feiffer. She is currently playing the lead role of Karla in A Funny Thing Happened… at Los Angeles’ Geffen Playhouse. One of Feiffer’s other plays, I’m Gonna Pray for You So Hard, was produced last year at Point Park University’s The Rep. She is good at writing comedies which is no wonder since her father is cartoonist and author Jules Feiffer. Her mother, Jenny Allen, is a writer for The New Yorker as well as a performer and book author.
