I loved Nora Louise Syran’s monologue There Are No Closets in My Classroom. It’s a powerful monologue that deals with the important issues of gender equality and coming to terms with one’s sexuality. That it’s about children dealing with these issues makes it even more significant. Syran’s writing is precise, moving and effective. An important piece!

A MONOLOGUE FOR A DEAD BROTHER ON THE DAY AFTER HIS BIRTHDAY is a beautiful, poignant and truly touching monologue. It's about all the coulda, woulda, shoulda things we meant to say and do with those people we loved when they were still alive. It's raw. It's truthful. It's beautifully written. We can all relate. Bravo!

You'll LOVE this play! It's fun, clever, and even a bit romantic. You'll never look at a dishwasher the same. We all think of our machines and devices as things that merely serve us- without any emotion or interaction. Jennifer O'Grady creatively humanises the dishwasher in the play and a whole world of human-machine interactions open up. Clever, touching and a LOT of fun. ENJOY!

A fun, fast, giggle-fest from the first line to the last. I really enjoyed this one. It's amazing how much you get to enjoy in just a few minutes. Would love to see it performed! Take a look and enjoy!

What starts off as what seems like a monologue about cute teenage angst slowly grows into a powerful horror piece on guilt, fear, and teenage terror. Robin Rice has done a brilliant job of capturing the inner horror as we watch/feel it explode! EXCELLENT WORK! "No Such Thing"--- whatta ride!

John Busser's YOU WENT THERE is a hoot. It''s naughty AND nice. Almost every line will give you a smile, a chuckle or an out and out laugh. I think you can tell, I kinda loved it; would love to see a production. Who knew that a "private" conversation between a husband and wife could be such fun? Read it, you'll see what I mean.

Brenton Kniess monologue THE BENCH, really touched me. It is beautifully written and says so much in so little time. Love and loss and memory. So truthful. So beautiful. Please, read it.

Claudia Haas’s play, She Came In through The Bathroom Window is a lot of FUN! Taking place right after the famous balcony scene in Romeo and Juliet, Haas has Juliet’s cousin Rosalind return to give Juliet a backstory we never knew about- and it’s very giggly. I enjoyed every moment of this very clever play. Delightful!

The title of Deb Meyer’s hysterical monologue, MOMMA NEEDS A BREAK, says it all. Right from the start we experience the trials and tribulations of being an overworked, stressed-out mom. Even trying to schedule a massage is incredibly stressful for her. On the one hand your heart breaks for Shauna, but you might find, like I did, that you can’t stop laughing at the same time. This is a wonderful audition monologue. Recommended!

"The Peculiar Puppets of Philip Platt" by Brenton Kniess is a unique, beautifully written play about friendship, forgiveness and love. Kniess's use of puppets is brilliant and profound. I was very moved. I believe you will be too. I highly recommend it!
