  • Carolee's Closet
    22 Oct. 2021
    What a quirky and funny short play. We'd all like a closet like that in which to keep our secret wishes. this is a clever short work that would please audiences in any festival. What fun!
  • That Good Night
    8 Oct. 2021
    I heard this play on the Two-Hander Slam Event and liked it then. I just re-read the piece and was moved again because this play is about compassion, understanding and helping another human being in need. It's beautifully drawn and uplifting.
  • Wait - A monologue
    7 Oct. 2021
    Such a sweet memory so lovingly told. That’s exactly how life flows. Beautiful images remind me of my sons growing up. Wait, now it’s my grandchildren.
  • Going There
    7 Oct. 2021
    The chances we take and the chances we miss. This is a "what if" piece if ever I've read one. Time passes and things change. What if they'd been different. There's a kind of sad yearning to this piece, but I hope Sam gets his way.
  • Going Out on a Limb
    6 Oct. 2021
    I’ll never think about the tooth fairy the same way again. A marvelous dark short play with a great twist and some laugh out loud lines.
  • Her Smile
    27 Sep. 2021
    This short, tricky piece will have you wondering "does he" or "doesn't he". A film noir kind of vibe, it has a really good ending. The kind that gives you a pleasant surprise. Love the voice over kind of delivery. Sexy in its own way.
  • Not Fade Away - a Monologue
    27 Sep. 2021
    Not fair. That's all I can think about. And the cake in the garbage. Not fair. This memoir of a monologue is told by an unusual narrator, but one who sees things clearly to this day. A very different piece for a mature actress.
  • Stiff Competition
    25 Sep. 2021
    Oh, how this short play develops in just a few pages. Science projects will never be thought of the same way again. Funny and gruesome. A clever and deranged two hander perfect for a fall festival.
  • These Eyes (a monologue)
    24 Sep. 2021
    So much in life can be painful and I don't mean physical pain. Sickles monologue about growing up as a mixed race child is hurtful to the core. Who says injuries leave a scar? Sometimes the most lingering scars are in your head and heart. A beautiful and deeply felt monologue.
  • Under the August Moon
    24 Sep. 2021
    I love the idea about being free of physical restraints to be able to "be" with the people (person) you care about. Just to be. A short two hander that gives us a lot to think about for the end of life.
