  • Monica Cross: It's an Espresso Drink with Foamy Steamed Milk

    Some things are just more important than the end of the world! Sitting in a coffee shop talking too loudly about lip stick and sipping a yummy macchiato is apparently one of them. Though these utterly self-absorbed characters, Steven G. Martin gives us insight and amusement at the end of the world! #TheBestThingsInLife

  • Monica Cross: Host Duties, a Comedic Monologue

    HOST DUTIES highlights an often overlooked hierarchy in the church. This Monologue gets at the idiosyncrasies of being a lay person involved with the mass. Irreverent and Goofy, this monologue takes a very simple thing, and shows us how for this person this is a very BIG WANT. A fun Monologue!

  • Monica Cross: Vanilla

    Sometimes the simplest things are the things that we miss the most! VANILLA, in the words of Scott Sicles, is not a play about ice cream. It is a play about human connection, during a pandemic.

    I'm so glad this play exists! Thank you, Scott, for the humor and the longing and the sadness of this piece!

  • Monica Cross: Use Your Noodles

    USE YOUR NOODLES is absolutely adorable! Steven Strafford gives us two awkward college students negotiating studying and dating. Superb! It would make for a wonderful scene for students in an acting class and would be a delightful addition to a short play festival.

  • Monica Cross: Because I'm Not in Love With You (a monologue)

    BECAUSE I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU is a gorgeous monologue exploring what makes someone "your type." Matthew Weaver give a wonderfully complex relationship between two friends made more complicated because the speaker always goes for "cute guy." A lovely pieces. Well done, Matthew Weaver!

  • Monica Cross: The Last Great Act of Mankind

    I have the opportunity to watch Almost Adults Productions (Santa Fe, NM) virtual reading of THE LAST GREAT ACT OF MANKIND. Scott Sickles once again creates a beautiful glimpse of love at the end of all life on Earth!

    This play is about the the types of love we have for one another beyond sexual/romantic love. Lars and Benno want different things in the last moments of humanity, but even if they don't get what they want, they still have each other.

    It is touching and funny (delightfully so) and so full of hope, even as the world ends.

  • Monica Cross: My Heart is a Kaleidoscope (Waiting to be Turned) (1 minute play)

    Stunning! This 1-page play is beautifully poetic and would make for a wonderful devised performance. Each line is a metaphor that is touching and unique. WELL DONE!

  • Monica Cross: MISSED CONNECTIONS (a 10 minute play)

    MISSED CONNECTIONS is absolutely delightful! Marj O'Neill-Butler gives us a quirky meeting with lots twists and turns. This is a play about chance meetings and mistaken assumptions. Don't miss this play!
