  • Well-Intentioned White People by Rachel Lynett
    17 Jun. 2020
    “ Wow! This play is full of so much! In a world full of "well-intentioned" memes and marches, we see the emotional labor Cass is put through on a matter she doesn't need to be put through. Not to make everyone else feel better about what happened to her. This play is so elegantly crafted with realistic situations and dialogue. Theatres take note! But also take note of this very important line: "You can’t keep demanding “to help”, Mara. Learn how to ask." It's likely time many of us learn to listen more and ask before we act. ”
  • Beautiful Noises by Scott Sickles
    16 Jun. 2020
    “ Wow. Just wow. I am still wiping away tears. This is so beautiful, magical and sad. Yet you are left with a tiny pinprick of hope as well. Masterfully woven, a story of love, loss and forgiveness. Sickles brings us on a full journey of life and death in a quick ten minutes. ”
  • Golden Kiss by John Busser
    16 Jun. 2020
    “ In the spirit of plays like "Sylvia", this fast paced comedic romp will be a delightful challenge for actors and a rip-roaringly hilarious evening of theatre for the audience! I would be first in line to audition for this piece! But I would enjoy it tremendously from the audience as well (even though I would be jealous of the fun the cast was having!) Clever writing and word play as well as insightful! ”
  • Children's Letters To Satan by John Busser
    16 Jun. 2020
    “ C'mon! Someone needs to produce this! Because I want to act in this piece! The monologues are adorable and hilarious, but the triple twist at the end is some Olympic ice dancing level comedy! I am adding this to my library now! I can't stop laughing!

  • Temporal Physiques by John Busser
    15 Jun. 2020
    “ This very funny 10 minute romp through time and weight loss had me rolling! How did Busser do it? I'll tell you! "Through the miracle of defunded military programs and a couple of legal
    loopholes, we can transport you back about six months to before you turned into a grotesque eating
    machine." That was one of my favorite lines! You should ACT NOW and read this, too! You will find some favorite lines of your own! Would love to see this performed! ”
  • O.B.O. [a monologue] by Steven G. Martin
    15 Jun. 2020
    “ This one person catharsis of a play would be an honor for any performer to tackle. The trickle of details that comes through brings the audience along with Cassie as she remembers the life she was trapped in and they will take a deep breath together when they realize she is finally free. ”
  • The Actress - One Act Play by Ryan Kaminski
    13 Jun. 2020
    “ Kaminski deftly unravels the clues and information in this short little thriller in such a natural way. The dialogue is natural and sends you on a rollercoaster ride with many surprise twists and turns all the way to the very end. The audience will be left very surprised when the curtain falls, I know I was! ”
  • NIXIN' NIXON (10 Minute Play) by Elisabeth Giffin Speckman
    13 Jun. 2020
    “ I smiled the whole time I was reading this play! The dialogue is so natural, even though having a framed photo of Nixon may be unnatural...autographed or not! The two main characters are very real and relatable and you get their friendship from lights up. This would be a fun short for college students to perform. Highly recommend! ”
  • Sheltering In A Broken Place by Jo Brisbane
    12 Jun. 2020
    “ This lyrical monologue is full of the tension and scattered thoughts many of us may be feeling currently. Many may be afraid to leave the world of our own broken tables, too. I can imagine this character, struggling to make the best of the world they have, while mourning the loss of the world around them. This line hit me in particular: "they will all lose the jobs that no one else has ever wanted." They describe their table prison with such love, though. They may have holes in their roof, but they can see the stars... ”
  • Hit Em Back (short) by Olivia Matthews
    7 Jun. 2020
    “ "I don’t wanna fight. But I have to. I have to all the time." This line hit me so hard. This is a heart-breakingly beautiful monologue. I hope assembly programs consider this production. The conversations it will start and the eyes it may open. Student performers will get so much from this as well. I encourage you to add this to your reading lists! ”
