  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: Miss American Pie by Gwendolyn Rice
    “

    This monologue, about making a pie, is really an interesting lesson about the people who have created this country . There are political overtones without lecturing, a beautiful story about friendship, and the sad aspects of immigration. A fascinating piece of theatre.

    “

    I thought as I picked this piece to read, I would know what it was about. But the story of this shooting is told with such empathy, such honesty, that I was unprepared for the ending. The vision of the town made my heart ache. When will it stop?

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: FAMILY BY NUMBERS Award-winning 10-minute drama by Arianna Rose
    “

    Family By Numbers is a heartrending play about family, their dynamics and the pain of loss when it comes. It is structured differently, but very effectively. A beautiful piece of writing.

  • Marj O'Neill-Butler: JANINE: A MONOLOGUE WITH A FANNY-PACK by Asher Wyndham
    “

    A monologue about a sassy young girl who is not afraid to speak up and defend the way she lives her life. It is a fun, information filled piece that would soften the hardest of hearts.
