RHONDA: You know what doesn't make sense to me? I'm shaking my thing and thinking if you boys want peace and love, how come you're running around in the armed forces shootin' people, you know? Do they even know what that song's about?

NEVADA BROMLEY is a playwright, director and educator.  Her first published play, BROTH, is now available for production in amateur and professional theaters.   Peruse the site for more quotes from the show and to learn more details about producing BROTH in your theater. 

BROTH is a comedic drama about a group of colorful characters whose lives intersect in a New England seaside boarding house. The year is 1969. Nell Bannister runs the home where Winston studies to become a priest, Bridget cleans the rooms while secretly moonlighting as a go-go dancer, Mr. Waters cooks broth and serves advice, and Nell’s teenage niece, Justine, tries to grow up without her mother.  To raise money, Nell hosts the "Quit Smokers," a weekly support group comprised of  souls from many walks of life, including: Laura, an aspiring author; Ned, a factory foreman; an itinerant hitchhiker named Moon; and Rupert, a Woolworth's window decorator. When the bank sends a notice of foreclosure they all band together  in an uproariously misguided plan to save the home.  Packed with entertaining dialogue, richly drawn characters, engaging plot twists and historical integrity, Broth is an uplifting play which explores the unexpected ways in which we form identity and make meaningful connections in our lives.
