The winner of the 2004 James Sunwall New Play
Festival, "Dinner for Several" is a romantic comedy
that's been called "a thinking person's 'Friends.'"
After its successful premiere run this fall, it's
available for production.
All Carter Sullivan wanted to do was make a nice
dinner for his date. So how did he end up cooking for
her, his ex-girlfriend, his roommate, his roomate's
friend, and his date's roommate? (Not to mention
Mrs. McGonigle, the nice old Irish lady from
downstairs.) A look at love and relationships and the
foolish things we do for them.
3 men, 4 women. Running time 2 hours.
Excerpt available on the "Playwright" page at

Thanks for your interest!

Quite substantial. Though she doesn't come on until the 2nd act, she's the emotional nexus point of the thing. Audiences LOVE her, she's got some great and funny lines, and she has a speech at the end that your actresses will kill to do. :-)

Yes, so I've read by now. Love the monologue.
Anyone else reading this topic needs to seriously consider this play.
It's reeeally good. Three dudes, Three chicks and an Irish sweety full
of Baileys.
