  • Asher Wyndham: Fart (a monologue)

    Weaver beat me to it and wrote a fart monologue! And I'm glad he did.
    Don't dismiss this stinker of a monologue as a stinker - no.
    Why is something so natural criticized? This is the topic for the stage starring a smelly fart.
    Makes you think of why humans pick which behaviors or bodily functions as natural and others as not.
    How does an actor dress as a fart? How does an actor perform as a fart? This would be a fun part for an actor starring in a showcase on flatulence or any comedy showcase.

  • Asher Wyndham: Wolves of Sherwood(Sherwood Cycle #3)

    If your theatre has success producing classic and historical romances, then seriously consider adding to your next season Frandsen's epic WOLVES OF SHERWOOD. If you're part of a high-school or college theatre program looking for a big cast extravaganza, then check out this play. Perfect for indoors or outdoors (kind of like Shakespeare in the Park). Not really a sequel, it's own story, Frandsen's world-building and scope of drama, her weaving of stories and relationships within the story, is astonishing.
    This is a dream-come-true for fight choroegrapahers and scenic designers.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Mirror

    At first, raw and crude and depressing with its startling analogies, but true, then the uplift. I can see this chosen for a night of female solo shorts.

  • Asher Wyndham: Your Hand on My Cheek (a monologue)

    No stage directions, no character description - so much is up for the performer and director to decide.
    A monologue, tender and poetic, for a performer of any age - young teen to 100 years old.
    A lovely monologue from a generous playwright. Just perfect for a Valentine's Day showcase.

  • Asher Wyndham: Bridget in the Pool (a monologue)

    An audience will have a lot fun watching the character's fear play out, acting the space near the edge of the stage (if used as the edge of a pool). And when the character dives in, off stage, the inevitable will be surprising. I could read Weaver monologues all day!

  • Asher Wyndham: 10%

    Hageman clearly understands teens, not just the way they talk, but how emotionally difficult it must be being a teen. This monologue about cutting, a topic that needs more attention in schools, a topic that doesn't get much attention in theatre, doesn't end with some After School Special good ending, problem solved -- it presents honestly a damaged teen struggling with getting better, and that makes her probably more relatable. Another winning monologue from Hageman. This is just perfect for competition, high school or KCACTF.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Pain In the Poetry (10-minutes)

    Ridiculously funny. Starts out as a typical story situation between a couple and turns into something totally unexpected. This play is fun, every line, every revelation. Highly recommended for your comedy showcase.

  • Asher Wyndham: Jesus at 10 (a monologue for youth)

    Weaver astounds me -- he captures through an authentic voice and actions of a 10 year-old that happens to be Jesus, some of the qualities he would display as a man -- charity, kindness and hospitality. The end hit me hard. If you're a person of faith, check this out.
    Consider producing in your place of worship, right on the altar stage.
    An actor of Christian faith should consider competing with this or sharing it with other believers.
    Wow.

  • Asher Wyndham: Hookman

    Lee borrows from slasher flicks (ie. college girl stalked by Boogeyman), so you know you're in for a scary and sick-fun time, but she does it so cleverly to express what she wants to say about grieving. With all its craziness, this play is not removed from reality like so many horror plays and movies. Check this play out at the library, borrow it, produce it. Just perfect for the Halloween season.

  • Asher Wyndham: The Quickie

    Hoke doesn't play it safe. She perfectly captures the tension and division between gay men of different generations. The playwright got Andrew right in voice and attitude -- these clueless young men/twinks are out there. What could've been a clinical encounter becomes one of unexpected intimacy and compassion -- wow. As a gay man, thumbs up, she got it right. If you're producing a gay short play festival consider this brutally accurate play.
