This got dark fast! An clear exposure of how a certain approach to religion can turn heads and ruin faith. A strong piece that should be seen. Well done.

There's quite the message here. This child has the wisdom to understand that childhood dreams are just as real as the ones adults have and that you have to a child to be a child star! Great monologue for youth theater.

What did these girls do? I need to know! DEBRA A. COLE has written a delightfully suspenseful moment and leaves us hanging. Just delicious.

If only Chris had let Anna finish...Love the way LOU JONES handles this miscommunication with humor and a little stick-it-to-em.

Such an important monologue! The names other know us by, the name the world knows us by and the one we call ourselves. Kudos to the monologuist for overcoming their fears and taking a risk. Well done!

Adorable! All the fears that hold us back and most are just in our heads. Such a sweet play about support from our friends.

Too many of us understand Maggie all too well. The words not spoken can keep us awake long into the night. DEBRA A. COLE has given a loving and gently example of how a partner's understanding can help promote healing. Well done!

The letting go is the hardest part. Even when it doesn't make sense or change the outcome, we hold on to that one thing, thought or behavior. A lovely, touching piece about how grief is often handled. Well done.

A strong reminder that we can get through the tough times even if we have tell ourselves. Uplifting and encouraging.

Our deep need to connect with those we lost is universal. As we look for signs, we often miss the obvious ones. A lovely and touching short play about recognizing and appreciating the connections that never go away.
