An Army veteran turned Chicago cop.
A despondent high school student.
One of them is the shooter. Discover who and why.
 
The Theory of Anything; description: A brilliant professor. A shocking murder. The truth is more complex and unpredictable than it seems. When Dr. David Solon walked out of the coffee shop on the afternoon of May 3, 2011, he didn’t expect to foil an attempted robbery in a nearby alley. He didn’t expect to recognize the would-be robber. And he didn’t expect to shoot that man to death.
After a year of frustrated effort, a horrific tragedy sparks David’s incredible discovery about mathematical randomness. It’s a theory that will reshape his field and change the way everyone thinks about physics, history and basic laws of cause-and-effect. The Theory of Anything takes readers back through the previous seven days to uncover the events—random or predetermined—that will define David’s career and ruin his life.

Sherri Chats About Agatha Christie tonight!

Sherri Chats About Agatha Christie tonight!
(I would like to say that I am very sorry about the sound quality and how disjointed I sound in this episode. As I said it was late at night so my voice was sore but, I didn't let anyone know at the time that I was very sick.  I didn't have Covid, but I was very ill, there were days I couldn't talk at all, the reason I did this late at night is because I had not been able to speak for days, and I needed to get an episode up, (I was reprising my radio plays but I just didn't want the same thing over and over and I wanted new shows, even though I was sick. So the sound isn't going up and down, my voice is going in and out.  Again, please forgive this, but I thnk this is a super one-off episode, that shows my love for Dame Agatha, I hope you enjoy it.)
This show is a bit different, no guest, just me fan gushing about my favorite mystery writer; Agatha Christie.  I will be talking about my favorite books, about all I have read about the great lady and how I feel about her.  I will also discuss my ideas about my favorite stories and her autobiography.
It is just a fun little show about all the books I have read and my great admiration for her and her talent.

Sherri’s playhouse reprises The Dowry!

Sherri's playhouse reprises The  Dowry!
 
It was originally for an under 10 minute play writing contest. But it was so personal and special I decided to do it on Sherri’s Playhouse. It is a very short re-imagining of the founding of my family in the US. It came from chats with my Grandparents, notes my Mom had in her journals about stories she heard from her parents and grandparents. Also stories directly from my Mom and my Grandparents on quiet Sunday afternoons at their place as we ate lunch or dinner.
It was a very personal project and so I am very interested in chatting with my cast about bringing it to life. We chat both plays and their parts in it. But it was so personal and special I decided to do it on Sherri’s Playhouse. This next part takes place after the family has moved to NYC after they started to assimulate.  And how my Grandma started working for some biggest stars in the theater!
