The First Woman of Funny, Joan Rivers, is immortalized in the new play Joan, which is having its world premiere at the South Coast Repertory Theater. Directed by David Ivers, Joan tells the story of Rivers as both a comedy pioneer and as a mom (the show was sanctioned by the late Rivers’ daughter Melissa). The cast features Tessa Auberjonois as Joan, along with Orange County native and Broadway veteran Zachary Prince.
