  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THE CROSSWORD PLAY (or Ezmeranda's Gift)

    This is a tour de force piece of theatre. The character tells the story of her failed relationship while explaining the art of creating crossword puzzles. Clever and moving, with a twist at the end I didn't see coming. Great one hour production for any actor able to use both sides of her brain at the same time!

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: On the Porch

    Truth telling at its best. Two great older female characters finally telling each other how they really feel. And it ain't pretty. Go along for the ride; there are some good laughs too.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: An Image of Love

    I found my heart pumping while reading this play. The connection between Helen and Peter is palpable. But is it meant to be? Or is he reaching out because his own marriage may be failing. A very satisfying but enigmatic ending.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: The Pity Mourner (Ten Minute)

    You never know where you might meet your potential soul mate. One man's kindness and sensitivity leads to an invitation to an internment and a lunch date afterwards. A delightful two hander for two older actors.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THIRD WINDOW FROM THE RIGHT

    This is a delicious play about the possibility of a new romance. Its simplicity is delightful, as two people start to get to know each other while sitting on a park bench. Kate sits there every weekday eating her lunch. Henry watches her every day from his rent controlled apartment. Finally, after winning a playwriting contest, and making a promise to himself, he has the courage to come down and sit on the bench. This short play touches your heart.
