  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Do You Get It

    This monologue brought back so many memories of the Vietnam war. The kids being absent from school because their brother died or their father died.
    Praying for their son who is in the Army, Deb and her husband are doing whatever they can to keep death away from their door. This is a deep, very sad monologue that speaks clearly about armed services.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Memorial Day (Full Length)

    I remember those days with such sadness. This play brings back all the horror of first, the unknown, and then the knowing, the helplessness, the loss of so many talented men. And the love, don't forget about the love.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Required Reading

    We all remember being that boy or girl wanting the attention, but not knowing exactly how to get it. This story within a story is delightful without a word being spoken. The characters are clearly drawn and the story/play unfolds in real time. So clever.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: LOTTIE'S LAMENT

    The hell of being single...I could feel the horror of being in the room with the accountant. He probably doesn't bathe either. A great monologue for a middle aged woman.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: HEY, EMILY DICKINSON, I GOT A CHEESESTICK! A One-Minute Play for Two Kids

    The simplicity of this piece fools us at first, as we discover it holds so much information. A moment in time that solves two problems at once. Beautiful and warmly written.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: TRANSMISSION

    Gwydion brought me into the room with this piece. I even felt the lights dim and then lighten up as time went on. This play couldn't be more current. I started questioning my beliefs in the middle of the piece. Take the time to review this piece of theatre and you'll think differently.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: "Three Months! Tops!"

    I love plays that are quirky, and this is one of them. Mamie falls in love in a week and wants to marry Grover. Their time together is limited though, and you'll never guess why. A funny, clever play that even quotes Robert Frost.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Corona with ICE

    Ouch! This snippet of a play hits hard, especially with the current politics and our daily lives so restricted. Franky is such a clever writer!

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: The Flying Dutchman Boards the Staten Island Ferry

    This is such a creative and sweet piece. I love combining the opera with a modern romance...two guys not able to take the next step to commitment. He creates a clear picture of the ferry, the opera and two disparate guys finding their way. Add a lonely ghost and you have a delicious piece of theatre.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Verboten

    This play is joyful and horrible in two acts. The scenes in Germany are frightening because they ring of now. The characters are endearing and vicious. Let us not repeat this horror.
