Funny, relatable and beautiful. It reminds you of the power of a child's vision and imagination, and the impact that it can have on your life.

This turn to optimism and hope is funny in how it comes about, and it's an uplift and reminder that we need right now. Optimism is rarely explored on stage. Thanks Lermond!

Purrrfect! We need more monologues and plays like this, about pets and animals.

This is a true influencer that puts Insta influencers to shame. Another one of a kind character voice from this playwright, a diamond of a monologue.

This monologue focuses on racism and inequality surprisingly through humor, with a commanding character voice and presence. I would love to read an entire solo show of these voices.

This playwright through the character voice of Naomi captures a lot of fine observation of human behavior and relationships, about love and death in half a page. It's astonishing, illuminating, poetic -- it can inspire other playwrights to examine their writing and characters.

Yes, this character speaks a truth, some wise words for our present day full of noise, division, and ignorance.

An epic confrontation against bigotry in the workforce. We need more monologues like this about workers and their struggles that are usually not given the light on our stages. A voice that commands your attention. An actor will love to own the stage with this character.

Awww this is sweet. I haven't met him either in person. I can totally relate to this speaker. A lovely monologue for a great playwright that many of us want to meet so bad but haven't.

With images of city and subway and tender moments of parenting, Rohrman captures the life cut short by the pandemic. Haunting, heartbreaking, a good choice for your festival, especially on Zoom.
