I am proud of my theatrical roots and always look forward to returning to them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1496335883046-NH9YQT4BBE8PMVDEL1HA/image-asset.jpeg On the Stage Bag Fulla Money was developed and produced by the Tony Award winning Sunnyspot Productions and had a limited Off Broadway run at the Harold Clurman Theatre on 42nd St. I got this idea in my head for a scene in a play - A guy is tied to a chair center stage next to a table. On the table is a huge pile of cash. A couple years and about a hundred staged readings later what I got was Bag Fulla Money. The press called it a "fast and furious four-letter-word farce that flies with machine gun dialogue that crackles with wit, grit and hysterics... tells the tale of the chef, his girl and six others in an effort to out wit, out con and out last each other and make off with millions of dollars.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1496336387629-C7AIFE0TVA93DCLPYL0F/unnamed-4.jpg On the Stage This dark thriller garnered an acting award in the Midtown International Theatre Festival. It is the story of a murder in a duplex apartment in Manhattan and some greedy real estate agents who try to take advantage of it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1495646676733-UQFBCX27J6PWOOAM7XFL/59E59+SCREENPLAY+EBLAST+%282%29.jpg On the Stage https://www.scottmbrooks.com/bio daily 0.75 2017-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1495125193221-HHJHNDZO0BD6DSLEHF47/IMDBpic.jpg Bio     https://www.scottmbrooks.com/on-the-page daily 0.75 2017-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1496338232753-C7YUKZ07R2QXF33AG1UL/IMG_0640.JPG On the Page - Further reading Below are some samples of as-yet unproduced film scripts and stage plays.

Based on the evangelical teachings of the Christian church, it is the story of a young couple whose marriage is on the rocks, and when their car breaks down in a smalll town, they meet a lot of special people who help them turn their lives around. I had to create a lot of characters and story lines from a few pages of the book which is mostly parables. The end result is a touching story that appeals to both its Christian base as well as a broader audience. Available on Amazon and DVD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1495813841523-HHMB4R5DBN84913YGSQ1/470A9569.JPG On the Screen - THis is Family Business     A short film directed by Martin Zhou.

"I wasn't even going to tell this story, but Violet had to go and write a whole book about all of us before getting herself killed." So begins the story of Jerry Smith who came to New York years ago to break into show business. In Violet's book; Never Touch the Waitress, Jerry was a server at a Times Square restaurant, with a film script under option. He had fallen for the elusive Violet, a hard-drinking actress struggling with the daily reminders that she may never see her dreams realized. Then Kelly Ripley showed up. Kelly Ripley - who left Luigi’s for Broadway two years before. But the show has closed and she is now faced with the unthinkable – going from Broadway back to Luigi’s. As that fateful year rushes past, Jerry and Kelly try to ignore the growing attraction between them as well as Violet's increasingly self-destructive behavior. Back in the present, time has almost run out for Jerry who we find bartending and drifting from one high-end cocktail lounge to the next. As Jerry contemplates editing Violet's novel, he has his own stories to tell about Violet, Kelly, and what life had in store for all of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/591c76183e00bee0be8a7a2f/1597680761412-CEVTIPN0LOL70R2VDAE1/Front+Cover+v2.jpg If they Asked Me... https://www.scottmbrooks.com/read-me-encore daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377710645188-W6F7VW5TN6XZ26N626WB/Darren+Bridgett+%2820130828%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377710441515-L3YD83X83ELBMUJHKA5F/The+Collective+Quarterly+%2820130828%29.jpg Read Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/507c1fdb84ae362b5e7be351/1377787389525-6YIGWYZ7Y1R2VXYGXYWO/Olasky+%26+Sinsteden+%2820130829%29.jpg Read Me
