  • Asher Wyndham: My Infinity Mask by J.Lois Diamond
    “

    This is a wonderful monologue that takes on the arguments for and against wearing a mask and our frustrations/complaints on both sides of the debate and presents them in a funny, surprising, insightful way. And also active - this is a fine example of a structured monologue with clear objective.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Shower by J.Lois Diamond
    “

    Another wonderful play by Diamond - a diamond of a play. Charged with genuine emotion, immediately relatable (even if you're not female-identifying), THE SHOWER is a play that leaves a long lasting impression on you. A perfect play for your festival on female themes.

  • Asher Wyndham: An Apéritif [a 1-minute play] by Steven G. Martin

    No monsters, no blood, no zombies - but it's creepy AF - just perfect for your Halloween showcase. If not, perfect for a murder-themed showcase.

  • Asher Wyndham: Final Dispatch - A Monologue by Robert Weibezahl
    “

    This playwright impresses me with capability of capturing so much of the past through the present without it every coming across as bad exposition. The crisp detail of this monologue commands your attention, it makes you want to check out more of his work.

  • Asher Wyndham: Viva - A Monologue by Robert Weibezahl

    This playwright has an incredible eye on past and present with detail that captures a fully realized woman. A great role for a senior actor--and they are rare.

  • Asher Wyndham: Brev (monologue) by Christian St. Croix
    “

    This queer sci fi mono doesn't take long to win you over with its story. An unexpected romance with amazing description and tenderness.

  • Asher Wyndham: Secret Ingredient by John Mabey
    “

    A short-short monologue that does so much, revealing through subtext and detail a distinct character that will leave you smiling.

  • Asher Wyndham: True Skies by John Mabey
    “

    Mabey here does more in ten minutes than many playwrights do in a long one act with two characters. Taking the topics of death, afterlife, and griefs and exploring them through a married couple's dilemma and disagreement is surprisingly not dark. The emotions throughout, their regrets and questions reveal a truly felt intimacy and loving relationship that is BEAUTIFUL.

  • Asher Wyndham: Framed by Jeffrey James Keyes
    “

    Weaving backstory and front story, Keyes creates a complex character in a short monologue with surprise, suspense and an arresting final moment. Another powerful character study. Young actresses should consider this for showcase and festivals.

  • Asher Wyndham: GHOULS CAN'T DO CANDY - MONOLOGUE by Vivian Lermond

    A wicked monologue with a well-crafted story revealing a surprising obsession. The language has a airy quality to it, there's a physicality that can be inferred by its rhythms. A perfect treat for your Halloween showcase. One of my favorites from this playwright.
