  • Damn You, Robert! - A monologue
    2 Apr. 2018
    Such a fun spooky monologue-- and with wonderful language! I had so much fun reading this piece-- Stubbles has written a whole life and fit it to a single page.
  • VEILS
    3 Mar. 2018
    I've not only had the immense pleasure of reading VEILS but was given the opportunity to see a full production of it as well. This piece brings humor, friendship, and most importantly a voice to the young people in Cairo. Two friends sitting on either side of the veil fight for the right to choose which way best honors them. A lovely piece that will make you grip your stomach from the laughter and the hurt. If you aren't open-mouthed and crying by the end of Samar's monologue are you even human?
  • The Rally
    3 Mar. 2018
    Burbano reminds us all that action, inaction--innocent, brainwashed-- everything we do has a consequence. "The Rally" is a great fit for any theatre doing work for Protest Plays or tackling themes on racism and violence in our communities. Heartbreaking.
  • New Descending a Staircase
    3 Mar. 2018
    A thought-provoking piece that will leave you smiling while spinning! What you take away as an active spectator may not have been intentional, but the unintentional emotion of the piece is just as much art as the art itself-- and just as important as the intended yet unexpressed emotion laid in by the artist.
  • Blueberry Pie
    3 Mar. 2018
    Sweet-- and just a little tart. A deliciously fun and erotic monologue for women.
  • Everlasting Chocolate Therapy: A Ten Minute Play
    3 Mar. 2018
    Climb on board this dark-comedy boat and sail down the sickly sweet chocolate lake throwback to childhood that is "Everlasting Chocolate Therapy". Hayet has written quite the gobstopper of a play that sheds a bit of light on those not-so-lucky Golden Ticket finders that gives you the hurt, the madness, and the laughter all in one bite-sized 10-minute piece.
  • Letter of the Law
    2 Mar. 2018
    "I am going to level with you" this play is absolutely adorable! A great one-minute piece featuring two intelligence first female characters. Steven Hayet does a wonderful job of making gift resentment hilarious. Do yourself a favor and add this to your reading list pronto.
  • Spite Check (formerly known as A Night at the Opera)
    25 Feb. 2018
    An intriguing piece that doesn't give its readers the opportunity to guess what lies ahead. Boyle has crafted a wonderfully calculating chess game of an interview that instills hope and asks the age-old question: "what's the point?". A beautiful piece about learning from our failures that I know I'll be re-reading over and over again.
