A hilarious black comedy of manners and lack of, of generational divide that perfectly dispenses its exposition and surprises in a way that is suspenseful. And it does this without interaction between its characters. Ready to produce, this duologue, a rarity in theater, will leave your audience in stitches.

The same mistakes, the same structure forced on women's lives, same expectations and values of love/sexuality/marriage -- it hasn't changed for many women even after several decades of progress and social change. The playwright focuses on all of this through the believable, loveable voice of 60 year-old woman. This character speaks not only to her granddaughter but all granddaughters, all young women, forcing them to reflect. Do they really respect themselves and are in a relationship with a guy that truly respects them for who they are? A great addition to any festival highlighting senior voices and female stories.

Yeah, wow. This is one of the most active ten-minutes I have read, intensifying with crude humor to shocking climax and realization. What starts off as a comedy becomes a somber look at America's treatment of its veterans. Martin writes some of the most memorable ten-minute plays.

I agree with Sickles. Some art is perfect. Weibezahl does write monologue masterpieces. Any actor that is given the opportunity to perform one of his characters is a blessed actor. If you're new to monologue writing, definitely read and learn from his monologues in respects to structure, character, and emotional plotting.

It's still not easy. We still have too many people living in the closet, including closeted wives living with an illusion they can't shatter. Goldman-Sherman gives voice to these people and their trauma of hiding their true identity and never having the opportunity - due to life circumstances, pressure, obligations - to live fully with their desires, their true sexuality. A smart choice for your queer showcase. Even better, an entire evening of monologues by this incredible playwright.

Keyes slows it down for us, we're listening/reading every word, seeing every image, hearing the sounds, and bam the creepiness and the surprises and transformation. This would be perfect for radio. Another stellar monologue that captures an experience -- this time with the paranormal -- just perfectly.

Having lost my buddy dog not too long ago, I immediately connected with this, the emotions and the experience of a loved one passing away in your presence. We need more plays like this, about the beauty and power and purpose of pets like dogs. Beautiful writing.

With a surprising eloquence and emotional depth, our speaker, the Monster from Frankenstein, finds his purpose after a degrading and disappointing life. What better way to spend life after mortal life with a corpse bride brought to life by Science? This would be a fun addition to your Halloween showcase.

Feeny-Williams pokes fun at ridiculous drink orders demanded by characters like Brian. We've heard them or we order them. In place of coffee, we have tea - and the drama is outrageous and playful. Easy to produce, this comedy would be a smart pick for your festival.

Bingtastic! Why are people so afraid of clowns? This little play is a showcase for a clownish spectacle of sounds and surprises for kids and kidults. There's a simplicity here, child's play, that is a lot of fun. A fun play for costume, sound and prop designers.
