  • Jennifer O'Grady: The Pity and the Sorrow (monologue)

    The situation in this monologue--a woman interviews a prospective roommate while her apartment building is actually on fire--is just fabulous and so well done! A surprising and moving piece with much going on in it. Love it!

  • Jennifer O'Grady: LOTTIE'S LAMENT

    Lermond's Lottie is hilarious, but we also, vividly, see the pain behind Lottie's situation and words. A wonderfully nuanced monologue from Lermond that would be a gift for any actor.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: GET THAT MOUSE! - 10-minute musical by Arianna Rose & Shelly Gartner

    Oh, how I love this! In just ten pages Arianna Rose and Shelly Gartner have created a super-fun and engaging piece of musical theater with wonderfully weird and very funny characters. The songs are terrific too (music is linked on the play's NPX page). So much fun!

  • Jennifer O'Grady: The Anchovy

    Utterly charming and very funny short play about seeking and love that anyone can relate to. I adore Weaver's version of Aphrodite in this play (I'm thinking she might need additional plays) and her interactions with the two young humans who need her help. A delight!

  • Jennifer O'Grady: Shot

    What happens when another kid at school demonstrates increasingly troubling behavior, and what if that person is a lifelong friend and you think you're the only one who can truly see him--to what extent do you ignore the warning signs? In dialogue exquisitely tuned to the way teen do--and don't--communicate, Hageman's suspenseful and theatrical new play explores the issue of perception--how we really hear and see other people--along with the daily and often unseen struggles young people are so often forced to encounter, including the vital issue of safety. A powerful play for all ages.
