This is so playful and bonkers, the audience will be falling out of their seats. What a fun homage to Golden Girls.

At times funny, other times poignant. An endearing character in mourning who wins you over with her charms and way of speaking.

A heartbreaking story of family, trauma and loss. One of the most complex characters in monologue form that I have read on NPX.

A fast-paced comedy with surprises and antics, a play-within-a-play with tricks and deception that will have your audience laughing non-stop!

A believable monologue revealing the thought process of a father waiting for his daughter to come home from her first date. In a mostly comic rambling, there's one word that stands out, shocking, that makes us wonder about girls and women and their safety in this world. A smart choice for an audition piece.

Meyer captures perfectly the frenzied mind of a housewife and mother with hilarious results. If you like the novel Ducks, Davenport, read this.

Diabolical, kind of erotic, a short horror play with a spooky reversal that will make you smile sinisterly just like Dot sipping hot chocolate. Perfect for your Halloween showcase.

Lawing's speakers carry an emotional weight that you can feel, and he doesn't have to overdo it which makes these monologues even more powerful. Someone needs to produce an evening of his monologues.

Can you bw a part of neighborhood if you don't follow the rulebook, the traditions and expected door and yard displays during the holidays? Lawing captures a lonely woman in a lively neighborhood who struggles with connection that may make you think about your own place in your neighborhood.

Chills, and it wasn't from my iced water. Perfect build that pays off. Perfect for your Halloween festival of shorts and monologues.
