  • The Review, a monologue
    28 Aug. 2021
    Alice, he doesn't deserve you and never has. It's so difficult, especially today, to work in the corporate world. Talk about looking over your shoulder! She talks and talks, trying to make her boss see she deserves a good raise for giving up all the things she missed in life. Brilliant ending.
  • The Assumption of Love
    31 Jul. 2021
    This is a sad tale about loving the wrong person. It's a wonderful mood piece even without seeing the painting. At the end of this short play you hope Helen finds happiness.

    We've all had to spend time with the Penelope's of this world. So much is said and implied in just over a minute. Bravo.


  • Mermaids
    26 Jul. 2021
    Heart breaking thinking of the things they may be facing. A slow, lyrical romantic tale of two people sitting by the ocean. I hope she sees a mermaid.
  • The Fourth Ghost
    26 Jul. 2021
    Forget the original Scrooge and his three ghosts. The fourth ghost takes our man into the today. Clever language and references make this funny short play very relatable in this modern world. Perfect for a holiday play festival.
  • The Feral Spinster Society

    After hearing a reading of this play and re-reading it again today, I am so impressed . Just over a hundred years ago, women were fighting for the right to vote. Andie Arthur has created an interesting and elucidating piece about the Suffragettes of 1912 in America. A cast of five women bring the story to life all the while examining the mores of the time. A great play for colleges and universities. A great play for everyone.
  • DONNY OSMOND TURNED ME GAY
    19 Jul. 2021
    This monologue is a lovely memoir...about learning what you like...about finding yourself in someone you love. And who could resist Donny!.
  • That Kiss
    15 Jul. 2021
    Memories can play tricks on you. A young bride dashes out of the church to visit a former friend from college and to blurt out how she feels about her. Funnily enough, it is years after graduation. This is a sad but funny two hander about sexual expectations.
  • Me Talking 2 Me
    15 Jul. 2021
    I think we all wish we could talk to our younger selves. About not missing the journey...about looking forward...always looking forward. This is a remarkable piece about the older and younger self connecting. Such an interesting script.
  • CENSUS
    15 Jul. 2021
    Census is such a smart play. We think we know where it is going and then it is switched up. I could picture the people Gloria speaks about, because they need to be counted. Need to be known. Beautiful piece.
