  • NO NAME: AN ADJUNCT PROFESSOR MONOLOGUE
    13 Sep. 2020
    I've been an adjunct, and Asher (unsurpisingly) gets the desperation. For every tenured professor there are probably a hundred people living hand to mouth, dealing with debt and dreaming of more than subsistence teaching. You get the despair, and our main character understands it all too well. As usual, I can't say enough good about this piece, and I suggest actors jump on this one.
  • 40 Questions (a monologue)
    3 Sep. 2020
    Matthew Weaver gets it. I have no higher praise.
  • WHAT SOME GIRLS DO FOR MALL GIFT CERTIFICATES
    31 Aug. 2020
    A masterful snapshot of people under some of the worst circumstances. Insightful and developed, it is typically Wyndham. You get to know these sisters in only a few moments.
  • Why the Hell is it so Hard to Write a Recommendation on NPX? A Monologue
    9 Aug. 2020
    So true. We've all got a great deal of writing-energy, but when we want to give good feedback, sometimes it is simply impossible. This is a well crafted exploration of an all too common frustration.
  • QUINCEY: A MONOLOGUE FOR A HIGH-SCHOOLER
    6 Oct. 2019
    Quincey has a lot to tell us. This monologue is a collision of timeless innocence with the all-too modern internet dating culture. It will be a strong addition to any college stage age actor's book. Read and enjoy.
  • A Zillion Kinds of Kisses
    27 Apr. 2019
    The catalogue of kisses can't be denied! This is the sort of fun and delightful madness that explores our human strangeness, and I love it. A perfect piece for two performers with a lot of energy, split second timing, and more than a few breath mints.

    Actors, find a partner. Directors, find a couple of actors. All of the above, make sure they don't have mono!
  • Different, a monologue
    26 Apr. 2019
    It's a brilliant expression. We're all framed in some way by some thing- what we watch, what watches us, perceptions we can neither influence nor escape. And Dosia wants so much to be her own self, even if it is only her only version of herself. It's a complicated piece, well worth exploring.
  • JANINE: A MONOLOGUE WITH A FANNY-PACK
    26 Apr. 2019
    "Don't you have something that you love?" There's something magical about the middle-schooler with her pink t-shirt, defending the sanctity of her fanny-pack. This special youngster is bold and invincible, a gift for us all. She is told to put in the pack "things that help you through life."

    Plays like these: crafted and challenging, but well within the grasp of young performers, plays like these should be in every young actor's fanny-pack.
  • CASEY: A MONOLOGUE
    4 Mar. 2019
    A heartbreaking and relatable snapshot. There's suffering on both ends of the line. A challenge for any actor, and I hope it is produced soon. Give it a read!
  • VULTURE GIRL: A HALLOWEEN MONOLOGUE
    5 Nov. 2018
    She wants to be a Vulture for Halloween, and there's nothing anyone can do to stop her. This monologue by Wyndham introduces us to an unafraid young woman who is determined to embrace her beloved but unconventional animal.

    I look forward to seeing Vulture Girls next Halloween on stage and at the door.
