Martin makes us think long and hard about this teeange speaker's family, school and private life without specifically addressing it. Through the act of cleaning barn and life and detailing the activity of birds like swallows, all revealed poetically without contrivance, we are given an intimate snapshot of a teenager in rural America. It pulls at the heartstrings, feels so alive, it's startling, beautiful writing.

I can really feel this, the ache and anxiety is deep down, even though I don't identify with the speaker. An emotionally raw piece about transformation and growth. This can be used for audition or festival on transgender rights and experience.

A monologue set in the future -- rare indeed -- addressing current issues of inequality and suppression that works as a warning and cause of action. As our speaker addresses us, the scope widens from private to public to universal, from childhood to womanhood to humanity itself. This is a fine example of necessary theatre. Read it, produce it.

In this world these days sometimes you need empathy and understanding from strangers, sometimes from another galaxy! I would love to see another installment for Bobby Joe. A quick comedy for a festival with a crowd pleasing ending.

A comedy and a horror and also perfect satire of right-wing Christians in positions of power that seek dominance over every aspect of American life. This monologue spotlights also an objective of Christian dominionism that the left dismisses as absurd, so far fetched it won't come true: aligning the left and people as demonic. Yes this is funny, but it's a wake up call.

An effective monologue that parents with kids will identify with, and reminds us the best theatre asks us the tough questions in difficult times.

This. This is why theatre is vital and has the to power to change us. The use of audience, and breaking the fourth wall, would make for revelatory and transformative experience.

This isn't just a perfect Halloween showcase monologue or one for a kink/queer festival -- it's just perfect for a festival on female voices, empowerment and sexuality. Seinuk had a lot of fun writing this one! She captured the voice so perfectly, a playfulness that comes across from the first few sentences. It's a storytelling monologue that is never passive. Why is she telling this? Who is the listener? Find out!

In yer face like a ringmaster, this physical role about a former scoundrel and cruel man seeking redemption would be a great choice for your next auditon.

Media and lighting designers having a blast with this.
