Booksigning with Chef Rossi of The Raging Skillet, a “memoir with recipes,” Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. (and at each of the show dates below.) Chef Rossi will sign copies of her book at Sedona Arts Academy. Cast members from the play will also be in attendance. “Emerson Theater Collaborative is excited to partner with Peregrine Book Company on this unique event,” says Producer and ETC President Camilla Ross.

Rossi’s second memoir “Queen of the Jews,” is near completion.
