    Very sweet monologue that paints a heartwarming picture of two men on an ice cream date and finding ways to connect. A perfect addition to the Monologues by LGBTQIA+ Writers for LGBTQIA+ Actors anthology!

    PETER DAKUTIS’s monologue, “The Sweetest Sounds”, is endearing as we see the emotional connection two middle age men find from the simple act of eating ice cream together. We can connect through so many different ways. It’s so nice when it happens most unexpectedly.
