  • The Woman and the Spoon (a monologue) by Matthew Weaver
    5 Feb. 2019
    “ What a terrific, unusual monologue. I love the repeated phrase "You know why" and the way the character (who's speaking to God) keeps brandishing her spoon like an extension of her own rage. And who hasn't felt that kind of anger when confronted with the inexplicable sorrows of our world? I also love that this was written for a 50+ female actor. Would love to see this performed. ”
  • Unanswered Questions by Everett Robert
    5 Feb. 2019
    “ A truthful and astonishingly uplifting monologue from a teenager struggling with grief and traumatic memories. I'd particularly love to see this monologue performed for political leaders who continue to do nothing despite rapidly escalating numbers of school shootings. A very timely and very urgent play. ”
  • WHEN YOU'RE GONE by Alina Rios
    4 Feb. 2019
    “ An emotionally powerful play about grief that imagines, with great truthfulness and sensitivity, what for many of us is unimaginable--the murder of a child. Lingers long after you stop reading it. ”
  • FAMILY by Charissa Menefee
    4 Feb. 2019
    “ I love this play and the delicate but masterful way it unfolds to show us glimpses of a recent tragedy that the play's two characters are doing their utmost to move beyond. ”
  • Two Candles (A Monologue) by Lee R. Lawing
    4 Feb. 2019
    “ Beautiful, truthful monologue that's both heartbreaking and hopeful. Highly recommend. ”
  • Slicing An Onion by J.Lois Diamond
    4 Feb. 2019
    “ Such an engrossing, moving, and beautifully written monologue about survival and the cost of survival. I'd love to see this performed. ”
  • Being Wendy Wasserstein - A monologue by Karen Fix Curry
    3 Feb. 2019
    “ Wonderfully captures the spirit of Wasserstein and her writing, but it's also a remarkable inspirational piece for anyone to read or perform. ”
  • Talking to Myself by Cameron Houg
    3 Feb. 2019
    “ I love the premise of this two-hander, which is really well-executed, along with its dark comedy and the questions it asks, which are questions we all ask but never get answers to. Would be terrific on stage. ”
  • The Ribbon by Donna Gordon
    3 Feb. 2019
    “ A gripping thriller that captures in just a few pages the horrors and pain of the French Revolution but has meaning (or a warning?) for today too. ”
  • Ask Me Anything by Philip Middleton Williams
    3 Feb. 2019
    “ Terrific and very funny short play with an absurdist scenario that feels all too relevant to this day and age. Would make a great addition to a short-play festival. ”
