This is the perfect female monologue for audition! It's physical! This isn't a sitting-in-a-chair-talking-to-the-audience monologue, nope. It's hee-larious! Challenging! (There's a lot of movement, long lines) It's also a perfect monologue for any short comedy play festival. Perform it -- and be prepared to sweat and shake that body!

This is a thought-provoking short play with a captivating showdown. It makes me think about people in non-traditional relationships or people whose behavior, sexual or not, doesn't adhere to traditional moral standards. If someone is 'non-traditional' then does that person have a right to judge someone else who's 'non-traditional'?

A clever short play that showcases a minority in Trump's fan base -- someone not white and not Christian -- whose argument of support may elicit criticism, maybe some laughs; however, it's the other character, the white guy, a Democrat, and his elitism and narrow-mindedness that may elicit more criticism.

Weagley does a fine job detailing the odd life of a young woman whose hands bleed, a sign of the stigmata, the wounds of Christ. Her hands have bled while working at Wendy's and while working as a salesgirl. Why has a woman who hasn't had a relationship with God received the stigmata? Why has she been chosen? Where can she or anyone like her find faith in God outside of the church? The final few lines about the grocery store lobsters and fate is memorable.

Deciphering the absurdity is part of the fun. One of the weirdest short plays I've read in a while.

I read this play on a warm day, and it gave me shivers a few times. Connecting the Pulse tragedy, the loss of so many innocent lives, to Wounded Knee is powerful. The slam poetry gives you glimpses of the horror that night on the dance floor -- horrific but also hopeful in its questioning, its dreaming of a more empathetic and stronger community and country.

The descriptive power of the lines and the unusual setting for the action of this play forces you to be right there, in the dirt with this young couple. I like how how the conflict, the arguments in the middle of the night reveals new insights for the couple -- and that at any moment they could be caught. Also the backstory and learning who they are now and where they are going is revealed slowly, perfectly.

I didn't expect this play to go where it did, and I'm glad it did. A hee-larious sex farce based on a simple premise with unexpected results. If you like characters that don't hold back what they want, even if it's morally questionable, like characters in a Thomas Bradshaw play, then you'll like this f'd up play.

Two different brothers, Bilal and Eric, of two different faiths, Islam and Christianity. They are separated by prison bars, but they find at times a way to communicate through the language of music-- of Beethoven and Coltrane. A lyrical, intense play about brotherhood.

I'm glad I didn't read the synopsis before reading this. A super short play with plenty of surprises, and it's clever in how it gives you breadcrumbs of exposition to clue you in. I enjoyed the use of contemporary speech with vulgarity to re-write an old tale.
