I ADORED the pacing in this short play by CHRISTOPHER SOUCY. Two strangers meet and the volleying of to-the-point questions and disgruntled answers will make for an exciting ride for readers and audiences. The ending was icing on the cake... or maybe, because it was set in a bar, I should say it was the aged Luxardo cherry in the old fashioned.

"No good deed goes unpunished!"

It is so painful how this wonderful man did something kind for someone else, and is now experiencing a loss of human dignity because of it. SCOTT allows audiences to experience the internal dialogue that so many experience in a world of rudeness and disconnection.

Thank you, SCOTT, for making everyone think in this honest 2-minute monologue.

As someone who HATES tight spaces, this is a true nightmare. Foster's panic and ultimate end builds with wonderful pacing and pure terror. COLE HUNTER DZUBAK has created a tension filled short play that will translate beautifully to a radio production. So many juicy moments for a seasoned actor.

Wow! What a beautiful and poignant look at youth, loss, love, and remembering. MARCIA EPPICH-HARRIS shares touching memories with such natural dialogue between a loving husband and wife. Audiences will truly connect with what happens when grief never goes away, and a first love tip toes gently into a more mature love of marriage.

Death of a loved one can take the living to a place of true disconnection, and The Bus to Nowhere is the result of that fog of pain. Some choose to stay on the bus for their sins, others choose to exit and start living again, and some... get pushed. COLE has crate a beautiful piece about loss and grief.

Such beauty in a single piece of lace. I too enjoy excavating history from found objects and truly connected with Lysanne's obsession. LOVELY.

WOW! A beautiful combination of WWII intrigue, time travel, and one family's love. I found myself on the edge of my seat with each scene. What a wonderful one act that will have audiences talking and recommending to others to enjoy.

Audiences are first treated to poetic magic as a father reflects on the early years with his beautiful daughter. As the monologue continues, what once felt honest and innocent, starts to feel sordid and worrisome. One father's memories beg for a comeback monologue from the daughter. PLUMRIDGE challenges audiences to examine the grace and purity of a family in crisis while juxtaposing the secrets and regrets along the way. BRAVO.

Those in educational theatre will recognize many of the characters in this wonderful short play. The witty banter, the strong characterizations, and beautifully paced storyline will delight audiences of all ages. I found myself singing a 4th end of the piece.

"It's Liza with 'Z' not Lisa with an 'S'
'Cause Lisa with an 'S' goes 'ssnozz'
It's 'Z' instead of 'S', 'Lie' instead of 'Lee'
It's simple as can be, see, Liza"

Say yes to the dessert.. you never know when your human time will run out. A delightfully fun monologue by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn that will delight the performer as well as the audience.
