  • George Sapio: Shelved

    A quite clever adventure about two French books who suddenly find themselves in danger. Witty dialogue ready for actors who like to go big. Would make an excellent addition to any evening's collection of shorts.

  • George Sapio: The Capture, Nature, and Purpose of the (Unfortunately Non-Terrestrial) Pollywog (a monologue) (Playing on the Periphery #3)

    Searching for--*NOT* validation--but comradery is a frightening moment. Knowing who you are without really knowing the words or the ramifications of that identity, but knowing you are "different." Somehow not a part of the mainstream. Sickles draws Zoey beautifully, with respect and courage. Another touching monologue for a bold actor and an understanding audience.

  • George Sapio: How to Tie a Cravat (a monologue) (Playing on the Periphery #2)

    Such eloquence for a youngster, but the age is only partially relevant here. It's the poignancy and accuracy of the moment, the crossroads, that both characters have taken. Such bravery and compelling honesty.

  • George Sapio: All of the Napkins are Wet (a monologue) (Playing on the Periphery #1)

    I absolutely love this child. She would have been my best friend all through life. Cannily written, and hilarious ("Where’s a flamethrower when you need it?" Really???). This will be huge fun an actor who really gets it.

  • George Sapio: We Are Cranston

    This is exactly why I avoided team sports all my life: winning is everything, despite circumstances. Dellagiarino Feriend writes this piece with savage dark wit; the crisis of conscience is tangible. This short play will jolt the audience massively.

  • George Sapio: LIGHTS UP!

    Wow. Yep. Been there with this actor. (Once, I might add. I do not suffer prima donnas.) Accurately written and moves quickly with no extra weight; I was sorry to see it end. Will be a lot of fun for just about every company.

  • George Sapio: Sorry, Shakespeare

    So much fun! Skewers both 10-minute competitions and the Bard himself. Great chance for two actors to shred the stage with endless biting gems. Favorite line: "I'm on page eight."

  • George Sapio: Veterans of Community Theatre

    Every community theatre devotee will cringe like crazy reading this hilarious send-up of "that" theatre troupe. Witty, all too self-aware, and fast, with characters that would be a ball to play.

  • George Sapio: WHITE NOISE

    Scathing, razor-sharp, and on point. And probably not too far into satire and the classes divide even further. A must for any evening of political excoriation.

  • George Sapio: REDUCTION [A 1-MINUTE MONOLOGUE]

    Writing short is not easy. So short, and yet so poignant. And saying so much.
