  • Marzipan Memories by Dana Hall
    12 Mar. 2023
    “ Even if you're not a mother or grandmother, it's easy have empathy for this woman. Traditions come to an end, the need from our loved ones comes and goes, and the loneliness settles in. There's an emotional weight at the center of the piece that Hall captures perfectly. A great piece for an older actor. ”
  • DOG CHASES RABBIT (ONE-MINUTE PLAY) by Adam Richter
    8 Mar. 2023
    “ A beautiful moment that a director and actors can fill with surprise, intimacy, humor, and physicality. ”
  • WORK FRIENDS (MONOLOGUE) by Adam Richter
    27 Feb. 2023
    “ Sometimes sweetness, kindness and hospitality can be radical and transformative especially in toxic workplaces which are intersectional spaces of identities and ideologies. The speaker might not feel like a hero, realizes he is ignorant and needs to learn more, but his stance and opposition to trans hate makes him heroic. We need more monologues like this that stick a finger up at the haters everywhere. ”
  • Eve's Redemption by Christopher Soucy
    27 Feb. 2023
    “ This may be the best representation of Eve for the stage. With fierceness, rawness, this filthy mother of humanity is also full of love and pride. I can see this being a full-bodied performance owning the stage. A killer monologue for audience. Perfect for a female identifying actor or a drag queen. ”
  • Tennessee Is Such A Drag, a monologue by Sam Heyman
    26 Feb. 2023
    “ We need more monologues like this that stand up at podium, in-yer-face against the political powers, the fascism that is going to war against sexual minorities. It calls for not just condemnation, but defiance and empathy -- much needed in this divided country. ”
  • "It's All About Me" by Andrew Martineau
    26 Feb. 2023
    “ For some marriage sacrifices independence, identity itself -- the "you" for "us." Martineau explores the emotional price that is paid for those who want out of marriage -- not forever, no, just for a bit -- even if it means adultery or, at least, flirtation at the Christmas tree sales lot. It's the thought-process about independence as transgression within marriage that is captivating in this monologue. ”
  • HARPSICH0RD, a gaming monologue by Sam Heyman
    20 Feb. 2023
    “ This is an important monologue on toxic masculinity/sexism not just in the gaming world, online and off, but also in our culture. It's perfect for any festival on feminist themes. A male gamer used in an experiment learns a lot about his male peers, his actual gaming friends, and also himself. He always known it was hard for girls and women in his community and society, but he's never felt it, never done anything about it. Proof of the toxic shit is not just in the game, but in his inbox--gross. A lesson learned not too late, I hope. ”
  • A Lighthouse (a monologue) by Emmy Potter
    17 Feb. 2023
    “ With poetic description and metaphors, with an emotional intensity at its center, Potter's monologue asks some important questions that many women ask. And men too. Totally relatable speaker who knows this isn't the right kind of world to bring up a child. A good monologue for a festival on feminist issues. ”
  • QUICK FAVOR (A MONOLOGUE) by Adam Richter
    17 Feb. 2023
    “ Some monologues are slow in delivery. The surprises and description are the payoff. The matter of fact delivery is what makes it fun. ”
  • Easy Target [a monologue] by Steven G. Martin
    15 Feb. 2023
    “ A captivating monologue -- wondering who the speaker is directing their vitriol at, and then being surprised by the end. It's the recognition and empathy that makes this unforgettable, along with each slap. Self-hatred and low esteem is brutally captured in another winning monologue by Martin. ”
