    A fantastic monologue for a queer man of any age. Totally relatable for many queer guys. Uplifting and charming. Short but not slight, there's so much to engage with here, about relationships, body image and desire. Makes you wonder about male iconography in our culture, historically and currently, in the media, on the internet (porn, wink), in art and how it negatively impacts our perception of male beauty, sexuality and how we date, hookup, and fall in love/lust.
  • The Enigma
    20 Feb. 2024
    The influencer mask coming off is quite a surprise, lol, as the speaker reveals her true self, the insecurities and fears, revealing an emotional layer that's relatable. Even if you're not a woman. A great vehicle for an auditioning actor to play with voice and physicality to win over a director.
  • GULF (working title)
    13 Feb. 2024
    Destination backwards or forwards? Jonte gives us a character with a crucial decision to make about the next stage in their life, solo adventure full of extraordinary surprises in a far away land or a relationship that's kind of ordinary. A great voice this playwright has captured on the page. A great audition selection.
  • "Why???" – A Love Story (a monologue)
    11 Feb. 2024
    A proposal during karaoke - not the right setting for something romantic - loud music - no wonder Bertz is confused as to whether he's engaged or not. Is this seriously happening? Sickles packs a lot of emotion in under a minute. I would love to see what happens next for Bertz.
  • The Geometry of You (a monologue)
    4 Feb. 2024
    Sickles knows that character voice is created breath by breath and entire body. And sometimes it's erotic. Another stellar monologue.
  • Listen to me. Please: A Monologue
    21 Jan. 2024
    This would make a great choice for an audition monologue for an actor. There is a balancing act of trying to keep composure in a court room while holding back strong emotions. All it takes is a bare stage.
  • Whitey: A Monologue
    21 Jan. 2024
    Spotlights the passiveness and empitness of anti-racist allyship with a real world awareness that can leave a room of supporters stone cold silent. This should be a selection for any festival highlighting the fight against police cruelty and violence against Black people.
  • Sins of Emission (Monologue)
    12 Jan. 2024
    Has the power to break our hearts and remind us there are boys who are conflicted like this speaker, still. Another winning monologue exploring gay themes from Baker.
  • Can We Talk A While?
    1 Jan. 2024
    A slow burn of a play exploring stories of abuse. After some tension, a moment for openness and revelations, and surprising tenderness.

    Unfortunately some women will relate to such an encounter. For others that have suffered they will words that inspire, give strength and steeliness. A smart choice for a festival on sexual violence and abuse.
