Oh those moments in our lives when we think back on and have a realization of just how much we were loved or have loved others. In this play, we get such a moment and whatever your spiritual beliefs are, this will make you believe in heaven and all that has to offer.

Life can be so hard. It definitely has its ups and downs but most of our downs aren't as bad as Richard's is and feel in your heart that he's fought such a brave battle one that you always hope you are brave enough to make because in end, there's always that hope and that can give us strength when you feel everything is lost.

If you are lucky enough to be blessed with good parents, saying goodbye is always hard no matter the times or place, but even more so at the end of life. This excellent piece deals with such a goodbye and we can only hope that we do enough in life to leave enough good that when it's time for us to say goodbye, we don't face it alone.

You will definitely never look at the monologue the same way after reading Ruyle's funny and sharp and oh so insightful "It's th4e Dialogue." The ending is one that will make you laugh and give your mind a firm reset button after being taken down the rabbit hole with the premise and promise of those firm reasons why monologues suck compared to dialogue.

There are always going to those days which will be able to recall as ones where movements were started or tragedy occurred marking that day and place forever in or minds with the event. Street is a beautiful ode to George Floyd and the movement his death sparked. We can only hope, like the street says in the end of this monologue to hope that these kind of days and events will all end.

The list is a joy and funny 1 minute play. It will surprise and delight you.

Navigating the world can be a daunting task and certainly the older one gets that becomes more and more the case. The beauty of this play is that even the older we get, it's always just as important to navigate and sometimes we have to take control of the wheel and make some changes but just like Stella, those can turn into changes that benefit not only ourselves but all of those around us. A beautiful play that would be welcome addition at any festival or show.

This is a monologue that you won't soon forget. Told from a child's viewpoint as she or he takes the new holiday photo, it will leave your heart frozen with sadness as you realize how brave it is for this victim to speak up.

What a funny and touching monologue between a father and his child which will have you re-thinking back on all of those things you felt you were so right about like the pronunciation of a book title or a town name and you may need to put some coinage in your own swear jars to satisfy those around you.

There's such wistfulness in this monologue of a moment frozen in time and only dulled by the elements of time and weather that hit this bench. Heartbreak was never done so beautifully as it is done here.
