Scenario Entertainment is pleased to announce the return of

PIECES… features a series of original monologues delivered
by a cast of 12 beautiful women speaking about their own experiences
-- each dealing with themes uniquely common to the physically
blessed woman. From perks to privileges . . . to problems and
pressures, these “pieces” aim to go beneath the
beautiful facade in order to examine the concept of “hot
chick angst.” PIECES . . . also creates a party-like
atmosphere by incorporating a live female DJ and short films
for a unique theatrical environment.
PIECES . . . originated off-Broadway at Theater 80, opening
on July 10th, 2003. The production also played the China Club
before moving cross-country to play sold-out performances in

Alexandria, Diahnna Nicole Baxter, Barbara Christabella,
