Suzanne hates spouting off her resume and would much rather
talk about a more pressing matter that has plagued her ever
since she hit puberty MEN or boys for that matter {we do call you
that for a reason}.

We’ve all been there:  In love, heartbroken, drunken stupors, blind rage, state
of utter confusion, regretful, foolish, ignorant, frustrated and generally pissed off. 
For one reason or another we all go back for more.  Perhaps that’s the common ground? 
Do the answers lie in the simple intention of understanding?

Regardless, this whole Mars and Venus thing is a pain in my proverbial ass. 
Nature vs. Nurture, Man vs. Nature, Woman vs. Man.  As humans we are forever in
constant battle, and as men and women we will forever have our differing
opinions and perspectives.   

I have so many questions about the opposite sex.  I also have a shit load of opinions. 
That’s how this all started.  So, on that note I would like to send a shout out to all
the boys I have loved before who never loved me back.

Thank you, for the INSPIRATION.

Thomas Ryan is proud to have watched this theatrical journey unfold over the past few years with Suzanne Rydz.  No matter what projects or commitments Mr. Ryan or Ms. Rydz were involved in, they found a way to write more and further the piece.  This has been an education of the best kind that has known: bars, coffee shops, apartments, rehearsal spaces, living rooms and stages, as part of its birthing process.  

A special thanks to Suzanne Rydz for taking this journey with me, and trusting me.  To everyone who was involved in the past Tom Ryan & Friends projects over the past six years:  Wherever some of you are, this show could not have been possible without you.  A special thanks to Michelle Dupre, Miss Hollywood Nights. You are sorely missed.
