JANUARY 1st

Want a better life?  Write a better play!

If all the world is a stage ... how do we play a bigger part in our own life?  Why not write a better role?  Think about it.  The mind and body connection is a theatrical event.  It's theatre at its best!  We are the actors in our own lives.  If we choose to be happy we can be happy.  If we choose to be sad we can be sad.  If we choose to be thin ... we can be thin!  We can write the play we want to play and act the part we want to be.  Who better to tell you how, than a playwright?

CLARICE:  You can do it now.

BERNICE:  I haven't acted in years!

CLARICE:  Hush!  You acted every day of your life when you went into Sunshine & Sholtz and "acted" like a secretary.

Excerpt from the play Mulberry Lane by Mary Miller 

FINAL NOTE & DISCLAIMER 

I read where a schoolboy once wrote that Socrates used to go around giving advice so they poisoned him!  So, I'm well aware of the danger of giving advice.  But I have been writing plays that have changed people's lives for years.  I have watched the effect of what I've written move an audience to laughter and tears.  I have won awards for every play I have written.  I've seen my work produced across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.  I know the research and care that went into writing each story.  I know that theatre can change your life.  My goal is to help people understand they do have a choice and theatre can lead the way!
