    What a Monologue!

    There is intrigue, revelation, heartache, and wine! END OF A LONG, LONG DAY is so elegantly knit together. It starts out with the simple, the everyday, the mundane, and the WHAM! It hits you! And suddenly the stakes are through the roof!

    This beautiful, stand alone piece packs a punch in its subtle twists and turns.

  • Before the Storm, a Monologue
    5 Dec. 2020
    BEFORE THE STORM is a high octane monologue! The Chief of Surgery projects an even keel but underneath are rip currents of emotion. This is a great monologue for a woman, and works just as well on Zoom as it would on Stage!

  • Ten Inches are Two Lifetimes [a 1-minute play]
    4 Dec. 2020
    I participated in a cold read of this short play, and missed my cue because I was so taken aback by it! Steven G. Martin gives us a breathtaking and horrifying vision of the future. It's stunning in its devastation. BRAVO!
  • Daniel Prillaman Really Likes Kittens
    4 Dec. 2020
    This started out as a Joke! Now it is an indisputable fact! (maybe) Daniel Prillaman (master of horror) becomes the a figure of sublime horror himself in Steven G. Martin's short play. This a delightful play!
  • Head
    4 Dec. 2020
    Stop what you are doing and read this play!

    It is full of gore and humor and bugs.

    If ever the phrase "I like you too much" were meant as a mercy, it is in this context. HEAD is a wonderful sex comedy about a Praying Mantis and the man who would be her mate. Scott Sickles writes a delightful and revolting romance that you absolutely must check out!
  • Love and Gratitude

    I have so much love and gratitude for LOVE AND GRATITUDE! This play turns chaos into art! In 1-minute, we have an escaped balloon, dismemberment, and archery! Scott Sickles gives us a holiday to remember, and so much more!

    DO NOT MISS THIS PLAY!
  • Desserts

    DESSERTS is such a satisfying play! Relationships can be complicated. Death can be difficult. But cake is universal! Scott Sickles finds the levity within the loss in this 1-minute play!

    ARBOREAL CONQUESTS is a gorgeous 1-minute play. Fantasy and Friendship abound. Scott Sickles is a master at creating vivid and visceral worlds in his work, and in this play, he creates a world that I want to live and play in!
