  • Monica Cross: All In A White Trash Pie

    ALL IN A WHITE TRASH PIE is the ultimate "How it started / How it's going" We get two snap shots of the family dynamic and relationships of these characters, two years apart. This is a beautiful and heartwarming story. And I absolutely love that it takes place in the aisle of a grocery story (site specific show anyone?).

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

  • Monica Cross: The Neighbors, Part 2

    Harold and Maeve will instantly win their way into your heart. They have the good of their little community in mind and they are watching out for everyone. This is a delightful ten-minute play and companion to The Neighbors, which can be experienced as part of the set or on its own. Fantastic parts for older actors!

  • Monica Cross: At Long Last The Story Of How Captain Hook Came To Be

    The Peter Pan stories have always invited darker interpretations of the stories, and Christopher Soucy has explored one such avenue in AT LONG LAST THE STORY OF HOW CAPTAIN HOOK CAME TO BE. This is a fantastic monologue. On that I could see every incarnation of Captain Hook delivering. I want to dress up as Captain Hook and do this Monologue!

  • Monica Cross: The Polycule: A Comedy of Manners

    This Moliere style comedy is delightfully entertaining! THE POLYCULE lovingly skewers the foibles and pitfalls of polyamory from inside the community. There are so many laugh out loud moments, particularly for those familiar with either the conventions of Restoration Comedy, the Polyam community, or both. And I found myself yelling "NO!" as the characters essentially send their own relationships up in flames. Jillian Blevins adds to this with gorgeously constructed verse in rhyming couplets.

    If you are looking for an ensemble-focused, full-length comedy this is the play for you!

  • Monica Cross: YOU WANT A WHAT?

    This is a fun short play. I am so glad that Adam RIchter shared it. Made my morning!

  • Monica Cross: The Neighbors

    THE NEIGHBORS is a delightful "who's on first" of people watching. It has rapid fire dialogue and a zinger of an ending!

    Well done!

  • Monica Cross: Berbert

    BERBERT is a whimsical look at love and attraction. Adam Szymkowicz creates an almost cartoon-like scenario which is both humorous and thought provoking. And Berbert says is all: "Berbert."

  • Monica Cross: Sincerest Condolences

    From the moment I read the subtitle on the title page, I knew this play was a winner: "A Murder Mystery without the Mystery" ::chef's kiss:: Alex Kingsley masterfully navigates twists and turns in roller coaster of a 10-minute play. SINCEREST CONDOLENCES puts the fun in funeral! With some many fantastic parts to play and delightful props (a coffin that is literally falling apart!), this play will have everyone working on it laughing just as much as the audience.

    I highly recommend this play!

  • Monica Cross: The Oktavist

    THE OKTAVIST is a Masterclass in the 10-minute play! Vince Gatton gives us conflict, character development, and revelations all in 10-minutes. The is so much subtlety and subtext in this play that you can feel what is unsaid even in reading it. This play is powerful and beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.

  • Monica Cross: The King in Yellow

    Christopher Soucy brings this classic story to life in a brand new way, creating a new tale that takes place in this classic world. I got the opportunity to read an early draft of this play. This play is beautiful and haunting. As the curse of The King in Yellow unfurls, the revelation of the story is eerie and disturbing to the point of insanity. Those familiar with the source material will love the little nugget of the original tales.

    This play demands to be on stage! But read it at your own risk!

    BRAVO!
