Testimonials
"I believe that Karen Kennedy is one of the top young writers in Hollywood today. Her
collection of scenes and monologues are perfect for the working actor at all levels.
Enjoy!"
----Kenny Hull, Director of MTV's Making the Band 2 and
Real World New Orleans
"Coming from Scotland, Karen's writing has been instrumental in my understanding of
American culture, dialogue and humor. Her comedy is unique, stylized and touching.
Similarly, her dramatic pieces often strike rich moments of true laughter. As an actor,
I have found that you can take her writing and run with it. The more you bring to it,
the more you discover."
----Marianna Palka, graduate of NYC's Atlantic Theatre /
Glaswegian native
"When I use Karen's words, I don't have to worry about the mechanics of acting.
Everything is in the writing, so I can take a deep breath and go. Now I never have to
perform a monologue or scene from one of those books that everyone has."
---Abe Brown, Principal/Flanuer Films
"I've had casting directors ask me with delight, "Where on earth did you get that
monologue?" Karen Kennedy is the voice we all wish we had! She takes a real life
situation and finds the comedy within it, making it completely hilarious....yet also
maintaining the truth. Her offbeat comedic writing is any actors' dream. Performing
Karen's material is step one to the endless possibilities that her work can offer."
----Tara Kirkland, Actor/Los Angeles
"Karen Kennedy is a phenomenal writer. Having had the privilege to perform her scenes and
monologues in class the last 3 years, I am constantly amazed at how she does it. Romantic
Comedy, Drama, Sitcom, Sketch Comedy or combinations of many different genres all in one
scene. She truly is an actor's writer. If you are looking for new, challenging and fresh
material, you needn't look any further. Karen's the best!"
---Matthew John Taylor, Artistic Director. Sidewalk Studio Theatre
"Each time I work with a piece Karen's written, I feel a natural rhythm that makes my job
as an actor easier. Her words flow. Her sense of humor is right on. Her dramatic
writing gets right to the heart of what it feels like to be a human being. It is a
blessing to be able to work on an up and coming writer's work."
---Jules Bruff, Actor / Los Angeles.
