  • J.Lois Diamond: Velas Votivas

    This character really drew me in. I loved the dramatic tension created by him switching between facing the altar and the congregation. His journey towards the priesthood and the parallel between this Marta and his aunt were quite moving. This is a reflective and meditative piece, which would be a great asset to any program on gun violence.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Only Human (monologue)

    O'Grady has created a rich character, who is fully realized with honesty and complexity. This monologue has warmth, humor and profundity and would be a great addition to any program about gun violence.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Being Wendy Wasserstein - A monologue

    This monologue is full of all of the honest soul searching, humor and chutzpah that belonged to the fabulous Wendy Wasserstein. As Curry so eloquently states, she did create characters that sounded like us. And when I heard Wendy's characters speak, I too decided to write a play. This can be a great introduction of her life and work to a new generation.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Turn On, Tune In

    An absurd and funny satire which skewers both the generation gap and the drug culture, with four juicy roles. Witty and suspenseful.

  • J.Lois Diamond: FAWZIE: A HOTEL CHAMBERMAID MONOLOGUE

    Wow! This a breathtaking play, so full of life and passion, I had to remind myself that there was only one character. She is rich, funny, and complex. Fawzie is my hero! Any actress would adore this role. I would love to see this produced. A real gem.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Something True

    This work at first glance appears to be just a playful look at games people play, but it alludes to a much darker and more profound issue of what actually is truth, an important question for today. Engaging and thoughtful.

  • J.Lois Diamond: The Games We Play

    A dynamic and original take on gun violence told from the point of view of children, who turn their grief into a jump rope game. Rhythmic and searing. This play enters your body and demands to be seen, heard, and felt. It is a vital wake up call to action.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Paper Towels

    This play jumps and soars off the page, full of passion and fury. Heart breaking yet full of warmth and humor. Diaz-Marcano has a unique voice, which is confident, playful and daring. I can't wait to see this produced.
