  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: A RESERVATION

    This short, funny play has a confusion of words and meanings and even the characters get mixed up. Fast paced, this would be a fun addition to any shots festival.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: The Other Side

    The Other Side is a remarkable short play. It deals with the Holocaust, but in such an unusual way. Set in the waiting room of a gas chamber, it deals with strength, pride, and family. It's a quiet piece given what's about to happen, but that makes it even more moving. Read this short play. It's a beautiful piece of theatre.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Seussified

    For those of us who have been there, this short play is truthful to the bone. Teachers are the most dedicated and unappreciated beings in the land. But some are cut out to work sixty hours a week for the pleasure of teaching and Kelsey is one of those. Add the Suessical rhymes by a perky teacher and a love interest, and you have a really sweet play.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: THE EQUIVALENT OF SENSATION, full-length play for 5 Women

    Four dead, well-remembered women come to life in this imaginative play. Art collecting, lesbian love, historical tidbits, and hiding one's real self are all explored. Time shifts within the script make this play come alive, as we learn about these early Impressionist art collectors. Cast of four women written by a woman. What could be better?

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Fresh Paint

    She's holding a flag, and in one breath telling her father he doesn't need to fly it. But there is more to it than that...it was covering up and trying to hide the horror of racism. Oh, this country has a lot to learn. Set in the aftermath of 9/11, it resonates today (unfortunately).
