Who better to tell you how than a playwright? Right!
By combining personal stories with practical tips Mary teaches an audience how to write the dialogue, set the stage, and act the part they want to play in their own lives.
SHORT PLAY SERIES
Want to focus on a specific health issue? Why not incorporate one of Mary Miller's short plays in your next physician led seminar.
In using short humorous plays to introduce difficult health issues Mary offers a unique approach to health care that opens a dialogue between both physicians and audiences alike allowing them to ask and answer questions they may not have been able to before.
Watching a play enables an audience to see real people acting in real life situations that are similar to their own. By sympathizing with the characters, identifying with them, recognizing them in each other, they begin the process of understanding and healing.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES
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.

FINAL THOUGHTS
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, Australia, and beyond. 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!
