    What a funny concept! I'm not sure who I'd have on my list. But these three are ideal. especially Proust. This is a great compact piece of theatre.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: A Toast (from the THE WRINKLE RANCH AND OTHER PLAYS ABOUT GROWING OLD collection) by Debra A. Cole

    A difficult subject told with such sensitivity and grace. You feel for Oliver as he deals with his father’s second marriage. But Oliver steps up to give his speech at the wedding until at the end he misspeaks…a great ending.

    I love it when the rude neighbor guy gets his comeuppance! And it happens so swiftly with Rachel's deft hand. This two-hander will give you a real surprise when the tables are turned. Yay Rachel!

    Kel is one tough cookie, or so he thinks. But Grace has her way around him...she just has to phrase it right. This is a clever two-hander that deals with the ongoing problem of homelessness. Great part for an older man.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Borderline by RANDY WARREN

    This is a really fun and funny short play. It goes to the heart of the immigration issues we have in this country. By the end of the piece, poor Roy doesn't understand what has happened to him and he doesn't like it. Great piece for a festival.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Victim by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    “

    You never know who is suffering out in the world, when your own life is peaceful and safe. Natalia suffers more than most and her telling of her life is powerful and gritty. Never knowing a moment of safety, she is now in the hands of a psychiatrist. This is a scary and very touching piece of writing which you will remember long after reading or hearing it.

    There will always be a Lilith...the leading lady who may be good, but who takes from everyone. This is a magical script with a great twist. Cheers for Beatrice and Amelia.

    Talk about taking things too far! Viola pushes and pushes in this piece until the twist at the end. Hers is an unlikeable character, but there are people just like that in this world. I hope the Maestro can toe the line, because I don't trust Viola! Timely.

    All I can say is thank heavens! For once the good people win. This short two-hander for two women over 50 has the perfect twist at the end. Good for Miriam!
