  • J.Lois Diamond: Fossil Lady

    This play is simply magical. In just a few short pages, Haas transports us to 19th century England, where Mary has an active scientific mind, which the prevailing culture tries to crush. Yet despite that oppression, she prevails. I would love to see this produced.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Zombie Barbie (a monologue)

    This wildly original monologue is full of wit and wicked social commentary. A hilarious satire which any actress would gladly sink her teeth into. Would be a great addition to any short play festival. Produce this!

  • J.Lois Diamond: YOUNG VETERAN ADAM AMERSON: A MONOLOGUE

    A very powerful monologue from the pov of a veteran who's been scarred by war. Disturbing and provocative, this play would be a thrill and a challenge for any actor lucky enough to be cast.

  • J.Lois Diamond: Miracle and Her Minion

    A heart breaking, yet funny depiction of adolescents' desperate need for love and acceptance. The supernatural ritual moves the story along in dynamic and surprising ways. A delightful play with great roles for young actors.

  • J.Lois Diamond: THE PANIC DEFENSE

    I recently saw a reading of The Panic Defense. These characters are distinct, compelling and real. It is impossible not to get engaged in their life and death struggles. I'd love to see a full production of this powerful and moving play., which also provides some great roles for lucky actors.
    A timely story which must be heard. Produce this!

  • J.Lois Diamond: OINK (re-titled)

    A charming and whimsical play about the stresses of dealing with a room mate. Would be a great addition to a short play festival. Actors would have fun with this one!

  • J.Lois Diamond: Counting in Sha'ab

    This play conveys the horrors of war in a succinct and poetic manner, through the lens of a variety of characters, all of whom share the need to count something uniquely important to them. In a world where all is lost, this metaphor becomes their refuge and anchor. Evocative and chilling, this piece has some excellent roles for Middle Eastern actors.

  • J.Lois Diamond: PARTNER OF —

    Powerful and poetic, this plays captures the horrors Sally Hemings faced in the context of the intimacy of 3 generations of women. Understated and honest. Would love to see this performed.

  • J.Lois Diamond: DOCTOR TRUTH

    A playful and zany comedy which makes us question the wisdom of famous experts.
