  • Asher Wyndham: Park & Play

    This is my favorite play starring actors as dogs. There is genuine emotion and conversation around feelings, being guarded and open to new experiences that makes this silly play a winning one. Put on some tails, get a bench, and grab a ball - and produce this play at your next comedy showcase! Connect with Krantz.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Emergency Code

    There is a toughness, confidence, performative masculinity that reminds me of the best of Bogosian. This character is not someone I admire, but I am (again) blown away by how Dickson creates a whole person in a few pages -- this time a toxic guy that you might have met in your life or recognize in our culture. Check it out.

  • Asher Wyndham: Spitting the Dummy

    A relatable monologue for all mothers in the audience. I am blown away by the detail and images in Dickson's writing, creating a distinct world and situation that I couldn't take my eyes away from. This mother role has an emotional range that young actors will love to invest their time unpacking.

    Carnes is one of the wackiest playwrights on NPX. Don't dismiss the back-and-forth of these two members of this strange social club on Zoom as pure nonsense. Yes, silliness every line, but there is true, beautiful dialog around making connections, having genuine conversation, even when the diverse topics include dogs, particles, and mathematics.

  • Asher Wyndham: "I love parties"

    I had the pleasure of hearing an actor bring Auntie Patty alive on Zoom. Cortesi has created a stellar monologue with a captivating character, an older woman with a particular view of the world and people, with some wise things to say about risk-tasking and choice-making that commands our attention.

  • Asher Wyndham: ZOOM Monologue-Irena Walks

    The pacing and the thought process, the fragments and word choice, all of it creates an emotional depth and an unsettling feeling in the reader. A haunting work that remains with you.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Redemption of a Football Widow

    I had the pleasure of hearing a reading of this play on Zoom. Non-stop funny with a dynamic female character at the center. If you're considering a football-themed festival during Super Bowl month, you should consider Kimmel's play.

  • Asher Wyndham: Life During Maritime: A Zoom monologue for a whale

    One of my favorite plays by Richter - it's a big play like the protagonist itself - an Orca whale - but only a few pages. Big in emotion, big in subject matter, big in environment themes. It's a genius idea to tackle the play's criticisms indirectly through an innocent creature. It's funny, it's cute (I'd love to see this in performance, even in Zoom), but ultimately a sad play that makes you reflect on abuses against animals and nature. We need more plays like this.

  • Asher Wyndham: Ice Box Cake and the Man from Lima (Short One-Woman Play)

    This is more than a reminder of the past, a snapshot of privilege and racism in the 1950s. It's a reminder that nothing much has changed in America. Women like Velma, seemingly harmless, seemingly nice, still exist and are ruining America. Not just a phone, not simply spying on a Black guest next door, it's toxic, it's un-American. You want to laugh at what she says, especially the dessert, but it shows you there's something rotten - sick, hateful - beneath the whip creamy, sweet persona. A perfect role for an older actor.
