  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Five

    This is a sad tale of loneliness. and yet hope. Hope that answers will come and questions answered. Julian needs an answer to the most important question in his life, and the audience will be relieved at the ending.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Win for Life

    Great and fun characters, this short comedy has an old timey feel. Good twists and turns. Actors will have fun with this piece.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: WATER MUSIC, a ten-minute drama

    I have read and heard this short play several times and each time it moves me. Two characters in pain find a way to connect and help each other. After experiencing this play, the sound of sloshing water in a bottle comforts me.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THE OTHER MAN'S GRASS IS MONDEGREEN-ER, a 10-minute absurdist comedy

    We've all misheard song lyrics. With this short play, Ms Rose has taken these "mondegreen's" to a high art form. My favorite was "Hit me with your pet shark". You may not get all the references, depending on your age and experience, but her glossary will assist. A really fun and abstract piece.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THE DATING POOL, a one-act play for 5 women plus optional additional characters

    If your younger selves could talk to your older self before making some pretty bad choices in life, this would be how. This short play gathers all 'herselves" in a fun and enlightening way. Talk about stop the world I want to get off! This is a very different take on moving forward in life.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THE FERRIS WHEEL - a short play for both stage and radio

    Whoa, a life time in ten minutes and there's a real twist/surprise at the end. I felt I knew these people. This is an interesting short play that should have a long run in festivals.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: For the Soul

    I was disgusted with these two men from the start. DC Castro has a way of making you dislike his characters. Each is individually loathsome and you hold your breath until the end of the piece. There is a sound effect that occurs during the play and you're not sure what it is until the end when you know for sure.
    Powerful short piece.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Angel Flight

    This is a journey that no one wants to take. Joe Swenson takes us on a full ride and finally lands us with a very calming twist. This is a very different and smart take on grieving.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Transferring Kyle

    This short play is a fantastic and surreal look at life as it is lived by Kyle, a non-starter. What a clever play...it made me sit up and want to get busy. No wonder it has had so many productions!

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: A Slice of Chhena Poda

    What a delightful slice of life. I love the mother who is so with it in the ways of her son. Not so much with her cooking howevr. This is a swell two-hander to play a mother and son duo.
