    A devastating, important piece of theatre and commentary.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Portrait of the Artist from the Perspective of his Pears, or Luscious Butts by Deborah Yarchun

    Such a daringly odd piece that is perfect for live theatre. I loved picturing this play in action and all of the ways it could unfold stylistically. Bold and humorous and deliciously weird!

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Competition Postponed Due to Weather by DC Cathro

    A wonderful piece for two actresses that highlights the sacrifices parents will make, unbeknownst to their children, and the moment a child realizes all their parent has done for them. A short combustible moment captured expertly by Cathro.

    What a fabulous play! This completely blew me away. Rich and a little haunting, the end of this piece leaves you unsettled in the best of ways. Fantastic example of the ways plays can be effective virtually.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Pep Talk - a monologue by Hayley St. James

    This is a charming and engaging piece that provides ample material for an actor to really shine. Easy and accessible on the surface, this monologue touches on the deeper insecurities of dating via app, particularly during the COVID19 pandemic. GREAT audition material.

    Such a rich piece for such a short amount of stage time. I admire the way the historical facts are included in this play without weighing it down. Both characters are fascinating and I'd love to see more of this entire story!

    A lovely piece about loss and moving on. The role of MARTINA would be especially fun for an actress to tackle, with her wide-ranging, juxtaposed emotions and limited physical activity.

    This is a gloriously visceral monologue; a terrific piece for an actor to explore and an audience to experience.

    A sweet and tender sliver of a moment that somehow manages to encapsulate so much about life and love.
