CHARACTERS
Jim Cash – Things and Things
Homer – Homer’s Odyssey
Homeless Man – That’s Why!
Homeless Man – Democratic Convention
Joan – It’s a Man’s World
Porn Trafficker – Sodom & Gamoraha
Street Kid – I don’t have a gun – yet!
Stargazer – We’re Alllll Miracles

Perfectly Norm-iLL People is a satirical gallery of norm-iLL characters who meet the audience in New York City’s Washington Square Park, face to face. 

I produced and performed in the play for live audiences.

The play exposes us to victims and their victimizers. Each, has a story to tell: 

A Nuclear Arms Salesman preparing to con third-world countries  into buying deadly weapons – “they’ve seen the shopping malls and they want to go with us”!

A Collection Agent attempting to collect from a man who’s wife died and daughter committed suicide and who is bankrupt. A Woman Libber who tells us of her journey from being a woman entering the business world and force to be more like a man to escape men.

Several Homeless Men (could be women) living on the outskirts of the city:
A drunk who was thrown out of Madison Square Garden for the Democratic Convention.
A man trying to figure out why it is what it is, and realizing it’s about chewing.
Stargazer, who has connected with the stars, and realizes how we’re all miracles.
Aan other characters as well.

Produced at Dowling College via my Professional Theater Company to standing ovations and rave reviews in the NY Times and The Suffolk County News (see below for excerpts, or homepage for PDF where you can read the full reviews.)

PNP can be done with props, or perhaps without them.  The piece holds a lot of humor but the subject matter is serious and requires digging deep into the psyche and world of these very odd, but real human beings who have ended up in this garden.

I have other  monologues that were not used in this piece that I  may add – I am still considering if I want to do this or not.
