This monologue and other Halloween-themed monologues would certainly have a creepy effect on an audience. Just like walking through a haunted house. It was be sick fun - listening to every word, picturing every image of ghostly presence, participating in a way, imagining you're the haunted protagonist.
What I love about Lermond's creepy monologues is that I have no clue what's going to happen.

Lermond's way with words will get under your skin.
The actor who gets to play the narrator will have fun with playing different character voices and creeping out the audience.
This would be a perfect addition to any Halloween showcase. It would be a smart choice to start off with this monologue.

Sickles delivers one of best kid monologues ever!
Oh so adorable Mill in camo pjays charms us with his devilish revenge against (won't say).
The physicality (he's playing a military leader summoning an occult army) and vocal characterization (he's delivering a funny version of Medieval dialect) would be a fun challenge for a kid actor.
This is one of those monologues, if performed perfectly by the right actor, would be a winner at a competition.
Why do another one-dimensional, storytelling, undramatic kid monologue from one of those dusty monologue books? Perfom one of Sickles' kid monologues instead.

The positivity in this play makes me smile.
I never encountered this combination of gay men in a play before.
Consider this for your future showcase of queer shorts.

Many monologues and short plays about breakups don't move beyond disappointment and heartache.
The emotional development of this character is a short amount of time, from righteous anger at being rejected and deceived to hopefulness and courage of heart, is stunning. We need this kind of writing in our age of ghosting and transactional relationships.
Consider this for your queer festival on love/romance.

This would be a smart choice for a young actress competing at local or state competition.
This girl knows who she is and what she doesn't like, she speaks her truth, and that will appeal to any unconventional/gutsy girl in the audience.
Even someone like me.
I can't wait to read more monologues written by Sickles.

This monologue reinforces a necessary hygiene practice better than any tweet or Facebook image. And it does that effectively from the perspective of someone on front line of this pandemic, a nurse. This should go viral on YouTube. If you're an actor, connect with Emily.
This is necessary political theatre/social change theatre.

Intimacy and sex, our desire for connection right now and in the future during a pandemic is captured humorously in Sickles' short play. But it's not just funny, it's a curious piece about how this will F-up relationships. It's more than about a John and sex worker, it's about any two people in a relationship involving sex. It's more than about the change to an industry during and after this pandemic, but how the pandemic will change us forever, sexually. Give it read today.

For anyone who's been a supporting character in the movie-life of a friend can relate to this.
If you identify with her, you'll probably applaud her by the end of it. But do you have the guts to stand up for yourself like her?
This would make a great choice for audition or competition. Check it out.

I had the pleasure of seeing GIDION'S KNOT front-row at Pillsbury's Theatre in Minneapolis after reading it.
One of my favorite two-hander plays of all time, perfectly-structured.
This play builds with an intensity of emotion and thought that will keep your audience intrigued and switching sides many times.
It's a gut-wrenching play, disturbing, overwhelming at times, but it's necessary theatre for our difficult time.
If you're considering producing a play on bullying and school violenxe, consider Adams' play.
