Excerpts from BOOMER'S MILLENNIAL HERO STORY by Steve DiUbaldo
"Sometimes in life, you hope for beauty, but all you get are a bunch of sweaty dicks."
"This here is an All-Amercan story... about one man on his quest to become special in an extra-ordinary world. Old Montgomery Walter, a straight white male born in 1986 to America's upper-middle class. Like any story of American heroics, there's romance. There's danger. Rampant sexism, and racism. Senseless violence. Zeitgeist. And some things that just don't make any sense at all."
"Ladies and Gentleman of the streets, I have had enough. Enough of shopping at K-Mart, of buying our tee-shirts from GoodWill, switching from Turkey to Bologna, buying the off-brand ibuprofen, having to save our beer bottles for petty change, and worst of all... renting."
Hear the whole play at Groundworks, coming at you this summer!
