All the cycles of life are addressed in this poignant and truthfully rendered monologue. I cried reading it, as it's so, so relatable for anyone (all of us?) who have screwed up, loved, revered, and lost. And, yet it feels hopeful at the end. M is a meaty role that could be played by an actor of any race/gender. This monologue is easy to perform and would do terrifically in a community, educational or theatrical setting.

Autum's Fall is both poignant and hilarious. Aging is challenging and Autumn suffers no fools. I grew to love this woman in such a short time and this monologue would be perfect in an evening of plays about health, wellness, aging and human dignity. Any actor (tress) would be lucky to play this role!

I love ESSIE and WILLIE and felt like I was right there in the room sitting on the couch with their sons as they were dancing the cha-cha. So much warmth and love was conveyed in their connection. This monologue would be wonderful in a theatrical evening of love stories or (what I'm hoping) is that the playwright Morey Norkin will expand this into a full length play.

What makes Eight Aunt Marys so compelling is that so much is said that's unsaid. Every word carries gravitas and EILEEN is completely believable as a woman who succeeded despite her physical handicaps and the abuse dealt by her father. It also truly felt like her son CHRISTOPHER was there with her.

Film Noir meets Screw Ball Comedy in this nail biting, fast pace one act set on the Staten Island Ferry. The ending was a zinger which I did not see coming. I highly recommend THE ACTRESS for anyone looking to cast two strong female actors. Age range can be flexible and this play would be great in a wide range of theatrical settings.

Truly unique, thought provoking and at times darkly funny. The "anti-semitism - who is really a Jew" trope takes a high stakes turn as Talia and David, in their laser-armed satellite must decide if they are to eliminate the evil forces that threaten to annihilate the Jewish people.

Objects that were once pivotal to a divorced couple, come to life as they are being sold at a yard sale. We see so clearly the passage of time as the objects tell their stories. This lovely, poignant play is both universal and magical. It would be terrific in an evening of ten minute plays and also where there is an opportunity for intergenerational performance such as a school setting, community center or house of worship.

Lovely and relatable slice of life. Strong sense of place and convincing relationships. There are twists and turns throughout which keep the action moving forward and lead to a satisfying finale.

A young woman, "HOSTESS", grieves and leads her community of fellow students simultaneously. While fervent in her beliefs, she opens her heart to those who don't agree with her. Recommended for theaters, educational settings, gun safety training, diversity/tolerance seminars, houses of worship.

Haunting imagery, racism, class disparity and spiritual meaning are depicted in this exchange between a college professor and the housekeeper that comes in to clean her office.
