  • Samantha Marchant: All of the Napkins are Wet (a monologue) (Playing on the Periphery #1) by Scott Sickles

    Lots of great lines like "taffeta car alarms." Daphne knows what she wants and I hope she gets it.

  • Samantha Marchant: Triptych on Divining by Emily McClain
    “

    To "hope if we change, we change the same. Change together," is a beautiful sentiment in a universe that McClain highlights is always changing.

  • Samantha Marchant: FUTURE WIFE by reid tang
    “

    This script is so great! The language is masterful. It hooked me from the first scene with the pirates. I love the use of multiple choruses and how Tang leaves open exactly who is talking when. The possibilities! And the ways it all could be staged! Definitely a play I want to see! Reading it left me inspired - thinking of the economy, art, and death.

    A vivid, quirky world filled with so many well-crafted characters. A witty, thoughtful delight!

  • Samantha Marchant: Nothing Remained But Voice And Bones by Allyson Dwyer
    “

    Dwyer's script drives at it's core from all angles and across a lifetime. All roads lead to one overwhelming, highly relatable thought. The weight of this constant self-negging is crushing and so very real.

  • Samantha Marchant: THE CROSSWORD PLAY (or Ezmeranda's Gift) by Donna Hoke
    “

    I love the use of a crossword as a vehicle for a one-person show. This script is clever and in command even when the Puzzlemaker is not.

    This script employs a masterful cadence - vividly displaying each character, their struggles, privilege.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Rape of the Sabine Women, by Grace B. Matthias by Michael Yates Crowley
    “

    Excellent, excellent wry humor with great use of double casting. Powerful ending and message against rape culture.

  • Samantha Marchant: The Bee's Knees by Matthew Weaver
    “

    I love that two literal bee's knees are characters in this script and that Weaver asks the production to lean into the awkwardness and the wonderful weirdness this idea invites. Fun!

  • Samantha Marchant: DARK, LEAFY GREENS — A Play for Videoconference by Rachael Carnes
    “

    These characters bring me back to middle school and, at the same time, are highly relatable to me as an adult. I feel the fatigue, the humor, the wanting to learn, the wanting to get out and the pain and joy brought on by other people. This script is hugely successful in it's chosen medium of Zoom.
