"Don't know if it's the tighter venue, marinating time, 2nd viewing or Bruce, but Act 2's Any Given Monday is the stronger show." - @WendyRosenfield, Twitter

Lenny is not having a good Monday. His wife left him for a jerk who builds Wal-Marts, his two least favorite football teams are playing on TV, and his college-age daughter, Sarah, is having a crisis of faith. But when his best friend Mickey has a solution to his marital problems, Lenny has to figure out what he's willing to stand up for and whom he's willing to stand up to.Graham manages to expose political correctness, class discrimination, and contemporary marriage – while provoking us to laugh and to wrestle with our definitions of right and wrong.Any Given Monday is recommended for mature audiences.

"Graham shines in this work - he delights in being a Bad Boy with verbal skills, and he's written a delicious, morally reprehensible play that mines stereotypes and takes them to their extremes." - Howard Shapiro, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Any Given Monday is really funny and really troubling. Thanks to the playwright, director Harriet Power and a generally strong cast, it captures the imagination, engages the viewer and deals with thorny issues. Pete Pryor is a force of nature as Mickey." - Clark Groome, Chestnut Hill Local
"Mickey, played to Philadelphia perfection by Pete Pryor, is a wonderfully complex character. He is the kind of character you want to hate, that you probably should hate, if only you didn’t know someone just like him." - Kaitlyn Foti, Montgomery Newspapers. **Spoiler Alert infull review
