Despite the title, there are more than three pieces of money in this play.
There’s money in the banana stand! I couldn’t resist. That’s one of my cousins (or rather my dad’s cousins) in the middle of the banana stand his studio made to promote the then-new season of Arrested Development. Photo Credit: David Banner

In the episode, I briefly compare this play to the biblical story of the prodigal son. What other stories does this play remind you of? Why?

There are no women in this play. How would you handle this if you were directing it today? Plus the usual questions about setting, etc.
I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
