MONSTERS! - the musical - by: Gail Phaneuf and Ernie Lijoi September 14, 2006
Boston, Massachusetts
On her 40th birthday, Samantha wakes up to some shocking visitors and has to face the demons of middle age in what turns out to be a hilarious romp of a day. Determined to strike out on a soul-searching adventure and an overhaul of her life, Samantha must deflect her mother's overwrought warnings and battle a troupe of her own monsters: Apathy, Fear and Body. Full panic sets in, as Samantha's imagination runs wild and the monsters fan the fires of her worry. Then comes another unexpected visitor and it is up to Samantha to banish her demons in order to live out her dreams. Laced with memorable music and side-splitting lyrics, MONSTERS is a universal story that captures the humor, insight and agony experienced at life’s milestones. In the end, MONSTERS asks a fundamental question: Have you faced your demons? We can’t destroy them completely. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “My giant follows me wherever I go.” But laughter is the best weapon. - Tickets are $32 with group discounts available.

Yes I am the writer and shameless promoter of this show! We've had two great readings in Boston and NYC and now we are hoping for a fabulous audience here is Boston for the world premier! It's cast and we begin rehearsals next week. Centastage is the producing company and it will be directed by Joe Antoun. I hope you all can make it! I am trying to arrange discounts for other writers. - Cheers! -Gail
