←Recommendations of Ernie Evan

A treat for the actor, such fun and yet a piece to emotionally delve into. Enjoyable for us, so a win for all! Wonderful!

Gartner's language play, her rhythm and imagery would be a wonderful armature for any actor to build a compelling character around. Evocative yet relatable, this historical piece feels vibrant and current, with a subtext that explores age-old questions and themes. I love how much pressure per square inch the writer exerts -- this tight, explosive monologue is a gem.

What a funny character and so well written one at that! I love Ernie Evan, the man and monologue. I love period pieces and so am always delighted to read one that is this good. What a great part for any actor.

A funny and boisterous monologue that would be a blast for an actor to sink their teeth into. ERNIE EVAN is well paced, dynamic, and builds a huge and specific world in just around ten minutes. Gartner definitely had my imagination going with this one!

This is a kickass monologue just like Young Jean Lee's Yaggoo. A dynamic, endearing character for an actor 60+ that will wake up any sleepy audience member. Highly recommended for solo festivals.

Strong characterization. Good role for a senior actor. Interesting use of a fusion dialect. Recommend monologue.
