Product reviews for Penny for Your Thoughts

"The show was an ENORMOUS success!  In fact, it was the most successful comedy I have ever directed. And I say that based on the audience's engagement.  For three nights in a row, my cast had to pause not just for tons of laughs, but also for audience reaction.  Everything from the jeers directed at Rick at the end of Act I, to the cheers for Matt when he decides to fight for Penny.  Sure, the majority of the audience is adolescents - but I've had teenage audiences for 5 years now, and none of them were as emotionally invested in a comedy as I've just witnessed this weekend. It was something that, as a director or actor, I have never experienced.  It was a fantastic feeling, which now resonates in the minds of 22 young people, and myself. I thank you for that." -- M.R., Olathe East High School, Olathe, KS

"The show is very dependent on comedic timing. Have to have actors who know how to do that.  The audience responded very positively. There were lots of laughs, and in places we didn't expect." -- Greenville (AL) Community Theatre

"This story was perfect for our students! They loved all the characters and having even parts makes it a win for all actors!" -- Calvary Church, Santa Ana, CA

"Awesome comedy that include simple costuming and sets. Quality show for a tight budget! The audience love it! Many of our students even came back for the second night!" -- J.B., Northwestern Theater, Kokomo, IN

Mind Over Matt to Penny for your Thoughts....
I produced Mind Over Matt a few years ago, so when I found Penny for your Thoughts...with the same characters I thought this would be a great play for our kids to do. I was right. It was a big hit. I even had kids that were in the first play come to this one and comment to me afterwards how cool it was to see "part 2". Lots of comedic timing and cute puns. When using the alternate ending, it gives you 5 really small parts that are perfect for students that just want to get their feet wet in drama. Loved this play!!!
