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’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 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
