    Angie, you got duped. Didn't see that coming. And all the time I was feeling sorry for Brett. Great two hander for any festival.

    I heard this short comedy read by City Theatre, Miami actors as a part of their reading series. An Uber ride arrives at some unexpected stops. Is it hot and sexy or "pervy". This clever two hander is all about the chance to start anew. a=And it's funny as hell.

    What a powerful short play...saying goodbye to her breasts. Marla has to listen to her own anxiety until she finally insists she be gone along with her breasts. Every woman I know fears this. Marla faces it front and center. What a great piece for four mature women.

    This may be why I’ve avoided therapy when I’ve felt low. I can’t imagine using telehealth therapy in the first place. When you feel the client is healthier than the therapist, there’s no use going on. This is a sad but amusing monologue dealing with this idea of therapy.

    It's amazing what the mind can do. The three ladies in this short play are hoping for some reaction to the "gummies" they have eaten. And they're off, whether its pot or something else. Sometimes you just need to believe. I love there three South Boston ladies and their comments.

    Oh, the fears of being seen. So much is counted on with people's faces. No, let's hide behind written words until we feel more comfortable. But send me a picture that's not of your face...uh oh! My worst fears. This is a monologue about everybody and their inside feelings.

    I read this charming monologue in Faces of America Volume #5. Noreen is a daring woman and it pays off. You never know where a conversation with the Bug Man might lead. I like the memories that float in her head while having this "chit chat".. Don't we all do that?

    I remember being like the character in this monologue. I've had to fight like hell to change my ways because unlike this character, I didn't have friends to shore me up. This is a gut wrenching piece that will resonate with anyone who has had to fight like hell to live in this world.

    I had the pleasure of reading this monologue in FACES OF AMERICA volume #5. It is such a visual piece...I could see everything he spoke of including the charred trees and the ashes blending. Wow.

    I've heard these people at Starbucks. No needy, so trying to impress. And then they discover they kind of like this person. A very quirky two hander about online dating and possible good results.
