    A lovely, funny, heartfelt monologue that makes us squirm as we relive our own embarrassing moments. We feel for this character and their quest for connection and acceptance. So much for an actor to explore. Well done.

  • Julie Zaffarano: Are you ready to order? by Megan Ann Jacobs
    “

    A strong monologue that aptly depicts the inner rage of a young woman struggling with the desire for some normalcy while knowing she is dying. We feel for this woman. And we can’t help but smile a bit at the end.

    We’ve all had that experience where we meet someone, know that we’ve met them, but - without context — we can’t quite place them. In this play, we we follow two men as they try to put their finger on their previous meeting. A fun piece.

  • Julie Zaffarano: True Identity by Quinn D. Eli
    “

    “True Identity” by Quinn D. Eli is a brilliant play that takes what we think are familiar characters are turn them on their heads. We see the best and the worst of each of these characters — their stark humanness. A strong commentary on our world, race, social media — fast paced, unnerving, hilarious. This play needs to be produced NOW in theaters across the county.

    High stakes in this 60 second play — where a couple’s relationship and lives could be forever changed. In this short piece, we feel the fear of change as well as the possibilities.

    “

    SO much fun! A very original piece where a is character running (physically running) from her personified internal demons. I laughed out loud.

  • Julie Zaffarano: XANDRA: A PTA MEETING MONOLOGUE by Asher Wyndham
    “

    A powerful dialog for a female actor. Asher Wyndham continues to wow us with his “no hold” monologues that are true slices of Americana.

    As someone who moved many times in childhood and left friends and memories in the review mirror of a station wagon, this play moved me to tears. A beautiful play about lasting friendship.

    A sweet and funny play with a message wrapped in an absurdist package. Audiences and actors will have a blast with this piece. You had me at dinosaur.

    “

    A tense and funny family drama where siblings argue about how to fulfill their mother’s final wish. The well-drawn hurt and confusion behind the argument goes deep. Well done.
