  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Birdseed

    This intimate, three character short play says so much in a very short time. We care about these characters and what they have gone through and what they are going through. It is a "fill me up" piece with heart and tears.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Hope Sings, Nocturnal

    This is a lovely short play that I heard read by the Jersey City Theatre Company (and then I read it ). It deals with regaining hope (and a pulse) after a tragedy. Very pretty lyrics, too.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: SELKIE

    I yearn for this Selkie, hoping she can get back to where she belongs. This lyrical piece speaks to women of all ages. Where are our coats? Can we pull the plug? Fascinating.

    This monologue is so current and important. The Drawing Board, NYC produced it and it was depressing, informative and right on. It built beautifully.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: I GOT A DATE TONIGHT ("Beauty Parlor")

    Watched this marvelous funny, yet sad monologue via The Drawing Board in NYC. Endearing Angie finds out her date isn't actually happening for her the way she wants it to...funny lines and references. Great woman's monologue.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: the most brave girl in the whole wide world

    Oh, this play makes my heart ache and expand with joy at the same time. I love Sister Agatha. She's just what William needs, and he knows it. This is a beautiful play about love and grief and understanding.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: BACKSEAT DRIVER

    This short play is a great two-hander for two women. The beginning is kind of creepy and scary, but there are more twists than many a pretzel. You can listen to a podcast version on Gather by the Ghost Light on all podcast platforms. Better yet, produce it.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Sex Ed for Mom

    Any older woman's dream. A woman's children gift her with an imperfect but attractive male robot. Oh the things they can get up to with 365 different positions. A fun exploration of what might be in the future.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: MRS. ALLYSON

    Trading favors...Gabrielle needs one desperately, but her employer thinks she is blackmailing her. Then the real truth comes out. Interesting two hander with a good part for a latina actor.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Above and Beyond

    This is a terrific short play that's perfect for Zoom. Husband and wife are separated through work, and one of them has some not so good news. This piece zips along giving us a ton of information, but the heart of the play is the couple's understanding of their responsibilities and their love for each other.
