  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Easter at the Entrée Gold

    My adrenalin was pumping the whole time I was reading this one act. The characters are very well drawn and the suspense is palpable. The two characters are allies, or so we think at first. But don't trust your instincts. Excellent work.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THE DRIVING TEST

    Alice can't control her mouth, and serious Nell is giving her a driving test. This short comedy even deals with the dreaded parallel parking. In the meantime two lives are changed by opening up and freeing themselves to experience all kinds of possibilities. Great piece for two women.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Seal Island

    This etherial, haunting short play is a delicate homage to friendship and love. The mood is set with the sounds and the fog, and we are immediately swept into the world of the characters. Direct address adds to the story telling. When reading, I could smell the sea air. A story beautifully told.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Daddy Daughter Dance

    This is such a sweet, deeply felt monologue; a daddy and daughter dance, what could be better. The memories are touching and real as she dances her most recent daddy daughter dance. A lovely monologue about remembrance.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Drive Away

    Which sister needs more help? You don't get that at the beginning of this short piece, but then you understand. Each is fighting to break a habit. A powerful examination of family trauma and addiction.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: My Piano Doesn't Like Me

    Everyone deserves tender care, even your piano. This clever short play brings a genius back from the dead to teach Jake what it means to care for and caress the keys. Just the way we'd all like to be treated. Bravo. this play is a delight.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: That Good Night

    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.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Going There

    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.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Going Out on a Limb

    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.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Her Smile

    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.
