'Theatre to me, is tapping in to the multiple personalities that
have gathered inside me from a life of observation and curiosity.
A smattering of madness is the gold mine I am sometimes
terrified of, but mostly thrilled to plunder.'

From Monica's hit one-woman show 'Sex, Pies and a Few White Lies'
“We care too much about what we look like,” she says. “That’s shouldn’t be who we are.
“I like glamour, don’t get me wrong. But I don’t see why we all have to come in one size.”
The opening moments of the show say it all. Parker jokes that she weighed six and a half pounds when she was born.
An hour later I weighed 62 lbs. I have no idea what was in that milk.'

Dear Monica,
I am emailing you from work since I don’t’ want to waste another moment to tell you how brave I think you are. I brought a group of people to your show on Wednesday evening. We ranged in age from 23 to 63 and in size, with one young man with us and every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed the show and came away better people for having been there. I want to be at your show again. Muchos gracias senora!!!! Regards,
Margot J. Kempton

The reason I’m writing to you is that I know you like to hear about buzz worthy stuff. -
It’s called “Sex, Pies & A Few White Lies” and is by none other than another Citytv connected talent…Monica Parker.

It’s funny, heartbreaking, as well as a love story - but perhaps most importantly, a life affirmation. Few women in our culture will not be able to relate to and celebrate the journey.

Dear Monica:
You are brave and you are funny and you are an inspiration!
Last evening was a great “shifter”. You held up the mirror for all of us, gently asked us to examine why we see what we see, and made it a bit easier to look deeper.
This play MUST be a success. It is your gift to women (for which you should be paid to the point of all excess may I add!!!!). You are onto something very important.
In awe,
