We need more monologues like this that hold up a mirror up to bad practices and behavior in theatre, shining a light on ignorance, inequities and disrespect for playwrights.

Another fun character for an older actor. A commanding voice that I can see taking up space with lots of physicality.

This monologue focuses on the current office environment during this pandemic and the social awkwardness as a symptom of the pandemic. Reminds us we can't pretend everything is safe and no one will get sick. You really feel for this guy who struggles to connect and remembers fondly the work culture pre-pandemic. A unique perspective that makes it a perfect addition to any festival on the pandemic.

Is this now the current state of dating, entirely virtual, via Zoom? Late dates, rejection online, via email? Sadly so. A funny monologue on relationships and love and dating, especially for a festival entirely on Zoom.

A monologue that SiNGS as it delves into the beauty and complexity of racial intersectionality. It's also hopeful. A smart choice for a festival on racism.

An unfulfilled housewife with a midlife crisis asks important questions that many us, regardless of our differences and life predicament, have asked as well. Surprising how this shoplifter steals your heart when you're not looking. A great monologue for a festival.

This an actor's goldmine for unearthing layers of psychology and emotion. Mind-blowing the complexity that Kane has given us. Check it out.

With plenty of action and physical comedy -- and a great lesson about the power of imagination -- this play would be a fun first play for young actors in elementary or middle school to work on.

Exploding with righteous anger and truth about how crappy humans are to animals like tigers, this monologue would make for an outstanding performance, complete with make-up and costuming. It's also a great physical role for an auditioning actor.

We need more environmental plays like this one on animals - and what they mean to us - forcing us to see our world in a different way, enlightening us about the unjust treatment of our four-legged creatures in and out of captivity. Definitely learned something that I didn't know -- about the 'elephant dance' in captivity. And it really makes me think about our own 'captivity' in capitalism.
