  • Monica Cross: It is I, Seagull (a Monologue)

    An awesome bit of Space Travel history! The first woman to be launched into space! LEE R. LAWING gives us a fantastic glimpse into that historic event!

    I got to see the reading by Back Porch Theater. I enjoyed the complexities of the character, and the journey she takes us on.

    BRAVO!

  • Monica Cross: The Demons Down Under the Sea

    Beautiful. Haunting! THE DEMONS DOWN UNDER THE SEA is serving lesbian gothic realness! I love the picture of women in mourning clothes in a cemetery on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea side. This play would be great for a scene study because it presents three very different women all with very strong wants.

    An excellent Horror play!

  • Monica Cross: You Before Me

    Stunning. Heartbreaking. Breathtaking. Empowering. Invigorating. YOU BEFORE ME is a beautiful take on a classic myth. This play captures the struggle of growing up and finding a new parent/child relationship now that you are both adults.

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • Monica Cross: LAST CALL

    LAST CALL is a wonder take on the "time travel to get the girl" trope! Given the implications about temporal mechanics in this piece, this story is both bittersweet and hopeful. Liz Coley has fun with the time loop dynamic created by the two characters, and suggests a much larger world than the brief conversation we see here.

    Artfully done! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • Monica Cross: LIGHTED FOOLS

    There was an absolute shiver down my spine reading this. It is a weird, tragic, and disturbing fairy tale. It would be a FANTASTIC movement piece. So creepily fun and great for all ages!

  • Monica Cross: Water Damage

    Oh man! What a play! WATER DAMAGE is a haunting play about Trauma. And I don't mean that in a funny this is a play about a ghost, sort of way. The imagery, metaphor, and supernatural depictions that Daniel Prillaman use to confront domestic abuse linger long after the play itself is over.

    Beautifully done! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • Monica Cross: Got a Light?

    I was fortunate to see GOT A LIGHT? at the Oregon One Act Festival. This play is a mix of light hearted banter and deadly consequences. Jean Koppen asks us to consider how we put our conviction into action. Both are strong roles and the play is packed with comic moments. It's a great 2 hander!

    PRODUCE THIS PLAY!

  • Monica Cross: The Ones Who Adapt

    I had the pleasure of seeing THE ONES WHO ADAPT at the Oregon One Act Festival. From the opening moment, this play drew me in! Alien parasites taking human hosts. So much fun! But the obstacles that they face seem insurmountable until they realize that they can manipulate humanity. It's clever and timely and a fantastic show!

  • Monica Cross: Art in Quotation Marks (A One-Minute Play)

    The question of what makes something "art" comes up frequently. DC Cathro does an excellent job of putting it in perspective here. Powerful insight wrapped in a comic packaging. Wonderfully done!
