Plays

Karen Mueller Bryson is recognized as "an author with a unique voice." Her plays are often funny and always memorable. Included in this humorous collection are five original plays written for a new generation of theatre-goers.

Certain Expectations is an enthnodrama based upon interviews with graduates of the McNair Scholars Program at the University of South Florida in Tampa. The play was written from the actual text of interviews with low income, first generation students and students of color, who described their experiences growing up and going to college. Certain Expectations is a vehicle to celebrate the students' successes and inspire others to defy expectations and succeed despite the obstacles they face.
