  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Partita - A Monologue by Robert Weibezahl
    “

    A lovely reflection on the grief one experiences with the loss of a colleague due to coronavirus. Like soldiers, it seems, we might all end up with some survivor's guilt, and this monologue plays all the right notes in exploring how one might come to terms with that.

    Oof. This play hit me HARD. Here (points to chest) and here (points to head).

    Beautiful. Raw. Important.

    A purrfect reflection on quarantine from the feline perspective. Touching and humorous.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Speed Dating? by Andy Beckman
    “

    Rapid-fire dialogue immerses us in the world of speed-dating (and perhaps dating in general). Illuminating and on point. DING.

    A fun and twisty monologue that left me wanting to know more! Good roommates really are so hard to find!

    A beautiful, stunning piece. I would love to experience this in performance, because this isn't a piece you only "see" but one you take in with all of your being and all of your senses. Really magnificent.

    I enjoyed seeing this monologue performed during Fat Turtle Theatre Company's Quaranteeny Monologue Festival. It is a great piece to showcase an actress's dramatic AND comedic talents, with a wonderful twist at the end.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Conflagration Then Nothing by Scott Sickles
    “

    A haunting work that amplifies the ways in which the human heart can both celebrate and mourn the same event, sometimes simultaneously. Beautifully done, this piece is uniquely specific and somehow universal all at once.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Looking for Hylas (a 6-minute play) by Tyler Joseph Rossi
    “

    A compelling and modern adaptation, LOOKING FOR HYLAS' strength lies in its exquisite subtleties. I would love to see this staged.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Polar Opposites by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
    “

    POLAR OPPOSITES, a clever reflection on parenthood and marriage, is a real treat! Complete with a few twists, lots of laughs, and some truly tender moments, this would be a fun piece for all involved.
