Piece Description
Writer Jay Kettering extracts snippets from his childhood with wit and humor as he ponders just who his dad is, and therefore just who he is. The monologue is delivered by Bernie O'Connor, a professional actor. The content is appropriate for Father's Day, or anytime as a family piece. There's also a Halloween segment. Jay Kettering lives in Missoula, Montana, with his wife and cat. He writes short stories and plays and is active in the local theater scene. Jay's writing career has been uncorrupted by money or power but he looks forward to becoming a sell-out.

OKI agree with Ryan Gossen - the production was poorly done. Also, the description doesn't describe the story very well. In particular it includes that his dad was a Christian Scientists but this was not a key component of the story and in fact wasn't mentioned until the end. Very little about what this man says about who and how his dad is has to do with him being a Christian Scientist. Also the tone was as if he was speaking to little children. |

Review of My Dad and Pre-Socratic ThoughtWhat a great story. Well-written, thought-provoking, humorous, and very touching. It reminds us how much our dads mean to us, and is a moving tribute to fathers everywhere. |
