How can I resist a play where the person breaks into musical lyrics and annoys all the Donalds around her and we've all known a few Donalds in our life. When the spirit hits you, you've got to sing and Janet does just that. Anyone into the musical art form will appreciate this play so much and may even want to break into a song or two as they read it, can I hear a yay to Wicked!

The song says, one is the loneliest number that you've ever do and in this horror play, it certainly will remain lonely once it since it's lost the game being played. Eerie and very unsettling.

When I was high school I got called the f word pretty much every day and back then I don't think most of them who used it really thought I was gay or homosexual, it was just the most hurtful thing that could use to embarrass me. This play tackles that on-going issue of the importance of understanding people from the very first grade all the way to graduation and beyond. So, so many battles to fight in so many towns, but it all begins there and change can occur if we encourage it with talks like these.

Wise words from the moon that are expressed in this lovely poem of a short play. It is a lesson that can be taken to heart by everyone.

Sometimes the so-called losers win the girl and the championships even outside of their dreams. Sweet tale where the underdog come out on top.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
