With all the attacks against teachers and diversity in education, and with that the dumbing down of public education for political reasons, it's nice to celebrate the positive impact of a teacher like the one captured by this playwright. A lovely monologue.

Wow, near the end your eyes might end up freaking out like her patient. There's a way in which exposition is dispensed, slowly like an IV-drip, that is unsettling. This would be perfect for a Halloween showcase. I love this anti-hero--nog one-dimensional, complex with incredible backstory that makes her a tragic figure for the stage. Amazing work!

Regret and longing are captured beautifully in this monologue of Queer adolescence. The connection with this speaker is our curiosity about what if turned back, what if we decided to ask our question, engage and be empathetic even for a few seconds. Could we have changed that other person for their entire life, could we have been that necessary disruption in their life, the life saver? Another monologue with expert touch of detail and emotion by Sickles.

This plays slows it down for us, allowing for an intimacy and depth and awareness that most plays lack. A great short play for older actors.

A character is on razor-sharp edge is close to losing it in this chilling monologue. Skillful with exposition, playwright Love will keep his audience on edge just like the character.

This is a gem of a ten minute, one of the most beautiful and poetic I have read in a long time. A powerful play about heritage and ritual and family.

An auditioning actress will have fun charming a director with this crime noir monologue.

This is a great monologue for an older actor, reminding us to stay active with sports and fun, get out there and socialize ---and one way to do that is playin pickle ball. Pickle ball has transformed communities, a positive experience for many seniors across this country - so it's great that we have possibly our first pickle ball monologue to bring awareness to this sport!

Reminds you that to make a last impression on friends and loved ones be profound in someway, even if it means leaving a legacy of being silly and telling jokes. I like how the monologue invites the audience to be a part of the funeral service.

The structure and story concept is surprising for a momologue. INstead of one moment, we get several, over a period of days, a month almost, and that unusual for a monologue. Relatable. And funny. This is also inspiring for monologue playwrights to think outside the box!
