The playwright does an amazing job revealing psychological state of the speaker, a man in mourning, through his memory of eating his choice candy during childhood. A perfect monologue for a festival on death and grieving.

We need more monologues and plays like this one. Not just about the experience of being diabetic, but experiencing other illnesses and medical conditions. Great description of an emotional state. Consider this for your audition.

What a fighting monologue, a song of strength in the face of adversity and annihilation. The new ethic that the speaker demands from us is what a new movement needs right now to restore democracy and insure our survival. Beautiful protest monologue for speakers of different cultures and ethnicities.

Spot on what's disgusting about modern Christianity in America with its toxic masculinity, so divorced from Christ's character and mission of hospitality and empathy. I like monologues like this one that capture the side we disagree with.

We need snapshots of heroes and survivors, reminding us that there's so much more we need to do help the less fortunate. And sometimes the small things make a big difference. Optimistic, social change theatre like this needs the spotlight.

A monologue for our times, our present day in America as democracy is threatened. A funny concept using the waiting-in-line action play to explore something existential. Engaging, on point, clever.

An arresting monologue delivered by a believable voice of a teenager suffering from an eating disorder. Consider this for your one minute audition.

I picture this peformed by a teen. I hear a teen delivering this monologue after being taken by aliens or receiving some epiphany in another dimension or something. What a fun monologue about life purpose and our role in the universe.

This monologue hooked me from the get go because the threat of a stalker in a park at night is something palpable, it gets under the skin. The specificity of setting, the evocative description, and that twist at the end made this a compelling read. Consider this for your horror showcase in November.

Our first responders like firefighters rarely get the spotlight on stage. This playwright captures in only a minute the voice of a hero, giving us a snapshot of fire's destruction on nature and community and family. Startling description that takes us on a journey emotionally.
