One Black Soldier’s Journey after he was denied the benefit of his GI Bill is Told in the Groundbreaking Play “AT ALL COST.” By Playwright Rashida Costa.
Imagine being ostracized because of the color of your skin. Blacks faced this nightmare and painful reality across this nation. Redlining was a common practice utilized to keep blacks from gaining access to homeownership.
The GI Bill seems promising, after all it is a benefit that was put into place for all. But was it afforded to all people regardless of your skin color?
Set in the South in 1945 after WWII, Wray Edmond, a Black soldier returns home in pursuit of a better life for his family and purchases a Casino after being denied the benefits of the G.I. Bill.
The story of the struggles faced by one black soldier and his family is told in the groundbreaking play AT ALL COST.

A Jewish Tragedy & Still Not Famous!

December 7, 2025 | 2:00 PM
As Brad Zimmerman celebrates the 10th Anniversary of his hit New York comedy, My Son The Waiter: A Jewish Tragedy, he now presents this NEW show! Enjoy a different hilarious look at his long journey to follow his dream of success in show business, and the parents who SUFFERED through it!
Actor/comedian Brad Zimmerman’s moving and hilarious story is about the grit required to ‘make it’ as an artist, and the sweet rewards that come from never giving up. Brad moved to New York after college and ‘temporarily’ worked as a waiter for
29 Years, while pursuing his career as an actor. Finally, he found success with a role on the Sopranos, and as the opening act for Joan Rivers (for 8 years), Brad Garrett, and George Carlin. He now has his own hit Off Broadway shows that are as profound and touching as they are entertaining.
