In the realm of legendary twentieth-century blondes, who looms largest, Madonna, Marilyn, or Mae? We’d vote for the brassy, bossy, up-front-and-in-control Ms. West. So, apparently, would Claudia Shear. In her 2000 play Dirty Blonde, the early-American sex bomb inspires a connection between a librarian, Charlie, and an actress, Jo, who explore their love for each other and West against the backdrop of West’s life. Jodi Kellogg plays both West and Jo, returning to Park Square in a reprise performance that further blends the stories of the legend and her fans. 20 W. 7th Place, St. Paul; (651) 291-7005, www.parksquaretheatre.org
