We’re giving away two tickets to see the woman who invented Carrie Bradshaw live on stage! Enter to win seats to Candace Bushnell’s True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and the City at Adler Hall on December 5th.
The real Carrie Bradshaw takes to the stage

Before Sarah Jessica Parker made Carrie Bradshaw a household name, there was Candace Bushnell, the novelist who created her as an alter ego to hide her adventures from her parents. Now the Sex and the City author is sharing the uncensored stories that started it all in her critically acclaimed one-woman show coming to Adler Hall at New York Society for Ethical Culture.
True Tales has earned rave reviews, including a New York Times Critic’s Pick during its off-Broadway run at the Daryl Roth Theater.
Bushnell’s 1997 novel spawned six HBO seasons, two movies, and launched a thousand cosmos-fueled conversations. Her other bestsellers, like Lipstick Jungle and The Carrie Diaries, each became TV series themselves.
Bushnell brings the wit, wisdom, and wild stories that defined a generation straight from the source.
