  • Jennifer O'Grady: SOME AMERICAN DAD: A MONOLOGUE

    So much is going on in this short monologue--so many different emotions this father is feeling but doesn't quite express, and we can feel all his urgency and pain and fear in what he isn't saying. So well done!

  • Jennifer O'Grady: Ripped

    Marvelously complex, incredibly real-feeling play about rape culture and consent that dives fearlessly and utterly successfully into the gray areas. Would love to see this produced.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: What to Throw Out

    A beautiful two-hander from Warnock about love and responsibility and the struggle to let go and move on when circumstances make it difficult or even impossible. The way the characters' budding relationship develops and the way the tragedy in Mandy's life is revealed are riveting and very moving.

    Astonishing play--inventive, theatrical, incredibly moving. Loved it.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: Penny for Your Traumas?

    I love this theatrical, darkly comic and surprising short play which has so much to say about the lingering trauma of domestic abuse. Timely and moving.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: Drowned

    Powerful, harrowing and necessary, particularly for those of us (which should be everyone) who are fed up with the whole princess-fantasy thing and can't bear to see our kids (and grownups!) falling into those traps. I'd love to see this produced.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: A SHELL OF WHO SHE ONCE WAS

    It's rare to be able to write such an emotionally truthful play that takes place so soon after a shooting. The two female characters and their (at first) diametrically opposed needs are so effective, and the way in which they come together at the end is very moving.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: SYATP

    What a fantastic monologue. I love the surprising way it unfolds, and when I reached the end I understood that it is, in essence, a monologue about friendship, and of the most meaningful kind. Terrific.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: A Million Voices

    Lovely monologue--I felt like I was right there, listening to this character as he tries hard to reconnect with his faith after a traumatic event. The additional voices are a really effective and haunting touch to this strong uplifting monologue.

  • Jennifer O'Grady: My Body

    Bublitz's taut and wonderfully unsettling ten-minute play should be performed over and over and everywhere.
