The ending - the victory with the music we love ! You'll laugh out loud and several times during the play. I'm not a parent, but it's not hard to believe parents go through this - rejection - and the ridiculous struggle to win the child over. Another winning monologue for a female.

Some of the best crafted sentences in a monologue I've read on NPX. Beautiful. Poetic. I'm in awe of this writing.

Maya is a wonderfully complex woman who came into the world through tragedy and ends up a survivor. She is a survivor through her values, her truth. A great role for a senior actor.

Ooooo I love this. This is definitely one of my top five monologues on NPX. An actor would have so much fun bringing this character to life. Bouncy, energetic, with a lot of heart. And pain. Don't dismiss her as superficial. Listen. You will see yourself in her, yourself during pandemic.

Ahavah this. It deals with death, but it's full of warmth, good memories, and humor. You'll be happy for Saul's girlfriend at the end of this -- that she feels welcome even thought she's not Jewish. This should be considered for your festival on Jewish themes.

Without character description, these monologues can be delivered by actors of different ages, backgrounds and cultures. So this has universal appeal. Focusing on characters before and after a mid life crisis, dealing with dating and work life among other subjects, the playwright has collected voices that express a multiplicity of emotions, frustration and happiness, anxiety and joy. The words create an intimacy between speaker and listener. I look forward to collection 2022.

Customer and customer service representative -- the interaction can change from the ordinary to the extraordinary to even life-changing if take a moment to have a conversation. This play reminds you that a conservation can be transformative, life-affirming and really funny if people just opened up or, at least, just a little bit more curious. It's rare for a short play to have characters with such a big age difference -- and such a difference would be a pleasure for your diverse audience at your comedy showcase.

An actor would have a blast performing this character on stage. The character has the rot and will eventually turn into a zombie! Leaving out stage directions, no comment on slow transformation, the playwright leaves up to the actor to imagine what the rot feels like and how it effects the character physically.

Relatable, devastating, this playwright's monologue about the emotional impact on an adult child dealing with a mentally compromised parent pulls at the heartstrings, and does so in a few words. Another winning monologue for audition.

A fast monologue with an unusual premise -- a zombie apocalypse. And a moral dilemma for a father that makes for a surprising moment that'll win over the audience and, even, better, a director at audition.
