  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Viral Love

    The baby steps of a new relationship are brilliantly redefined here by Williams, who in just a short 60 seconds can put a smile on my face and pull at my heartstrings with this tender, humorous look at dating in a pandemic.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Brewing A Revolution

    Hibbard has crafted this monologue so that it works perfectly for both virtual and live performance, which is no easy task but an important one for playwrights to achieve these days. RON is a sort of Everyman, or who many of us hope every man will be: someone who wants to atone for past misdeeds and change the world for the better of all, planet Earth included. I hope to see this in performance.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Beached (a one minute play)

    Great little piece for a short play or 1 min play festival. Jack and Caroline find themselves in a situation that, apart from the virus existing, many might envy!

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: Belle, Ex-Wife of a Beast (monologue)

    Good fit for a spunky actress, filled with moments of defiance, humor, vulnerability, and power! I could see teen actresses especially enjoying this piece for performance or as audition material.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: I Was a Frog Once (a one-minute play)

    Precious and oh-so-satisfying. A near perfect 60 seconds between a king and a princess, but more importantly, a man and his granddaughter.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: RENATA: A POST-MATERNITY MONOLOGUE

    ALL. OF. THIS. What a brilliant monologue for a powerful and feisty woman. A winning piece of writing that captures the post-partum experience and champions it.

  • Elisabeth Giffin Speckman: How Straight, White, Privileged, Male Academics Talk In Private (10 minute)

    The privilege was MINE to read this satire that, as a female adjunct instructor, hits a little too close to home! Filled with witty exchanges and one-liners, I can only conclude that irony is NOT dead after all!
