  • Drowned by Emily Hageman
    21 Feb. 2023
    “ We all know when the movies fade to black, that the cheeriness that we all might feel from the happy ending definitely doesn't last for too long when reality hits you in the face. This heartbreaking monologue of a daughter who wishes to come home from what she thought would turn out happy, will make you rethink all Disney films from here on out. ”
  • Covers a short monologue by D. Lee Miller
    21 Feb. 2023
    “ So simple and yet this monologue cuts deeply with so much history, pain and cry for social justice and change. Love the reveal which makes you laugh and applaud that change can be had, even if it's slow. ”
  • Manic: A Ten Minute Play by Emily Borst
    21 Feb. 2023
    “ This was my play of the day and I'm so glad it was. We're always taught that that there are no small roles in theater, only small actors. We get to meet a few of those who play the smaller roles and hear their story and their complaints and their dreams and hopes in Manic. It all comes down to being able to step back and listen to what the others are saying and to help each other out to be the best at what you're written to be every time the play goes on. ”
  • Before You Go, a monologue by Sam Heyman
    21 Feb. 2023
    “ Saw this beautiful monologue read and performed on Back Porch Theatre. The cycle of abuse is just something that is hard to break and this monologue speaks to the hope that it can be done.

  • DINNER by Paul Smith
    21 Feb. 2023
    “ Talk about a shocker! Everything is turned up on its head in this darkly funny tale of a burglary gone wrong. The tension in the room is immediately tight right from the start it and only increases to a breaking point as Hilda and Ernest prepare their lovely dinner for the uninvited guest! ”
  • Stork Patrol by Debra A. Cole
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ Heard this performed perfectly on Theatrical Shenanigans. Dark and twisted and it's just what everyone who wanted abortion made illegal deserves in return for their stupidity and selfishness to garner one more "soul" for the god they worship. ”
  • To Love Alone by Andrew Martineau
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ Love the line if they are so bad why do they cost 6.99? I thought the art of card giving was on the wane and maybe it is, but Marineau gives two souls searching for said card close to the Saint's holiday and realizing that maybe, just maybe, they might like one another enough to go out and possibly start sending said cards to each other on that next day of love. A magical and funny time. ”
  • A PICTURE OF TWO BOYS by Nick Malakhow
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ We all have that friend that we remember fondly that we knew in junior high and high school. They are the ones who got us through those awful years of school, that we shared our secrets with and wanted to sometimes share more with them if only things had worked out differently for both. Malakhow takes us through one of those friendships with such poetry that we can we can still see all the possibilities of lifetimes lived and those not. ”
  • Inspiration by Donna Newton
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ Newton captures such a beautiful moment about rejection and all the hopes that go into those endeavors about all the possibilities within us all as artists and humans that even despite the rejections we receive we muster the courage to start again and create, review, and hit send. ”
  • Sunny Living by Sanjit Sengupta
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ In a world where we are living longer and longer, Sengupta's play dives into a lesson in life and humility and grace about how often we just write off the elderly and even if we don't have parents anymore that are that age, we can always be on the lookout for ways to make a difference in so many people's lives. Remembering that the elderly have all had lives that they lived just like all of us coming up now, it's a powerful realization to remember as we move in that direction. ”
