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.

"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.

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!

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.

I know this person. We all do. Asher's got it right, this is the world's worst theatergoer. It seems a modernized take of Christopher Sly from the too-often cut induction of Taming of the Shrew. This acerbic, brashy, ballsy hypocrite has been to every show imaginable. They know the rules by now, or darn well should.

I'm going to send this to some of the strongest actors I know, ones who can pull it off. It will take a certain strength and dexterity to play a person this annoying. Congrats to Asher for one hell of a monologue. Again.

"Theda just oozes like sex poison..." such a wonderful line. Young Lola, off to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, delivers her report on the legendary Theda Bara is an expert mixture of wit, insight, and the occasional non sequitur.

We all know Lola, we went to school with her, or we were a gender-swapped version. Her love for Bara is summed up perfectly here: "I know I’m funny looking, I hear it enough from my mom and from the idiots in the quad. She was funny looking and people worshiped her." Amen, Lola.

Such a hilarious look at the insecurities of a chilly Fuck Buddy. Asher Wyndham shows us a world where two people who are cold and lonely try to claw at each other in search of... something.

This would be an incredible audition piece for the right play, and would be fantastic as a showcase. There is a great deal to play with. Enjoy!

Asher Wyndham presents a de-evolving husband as he proudly pronounces his completion of the chores for the week. What follows is a hilarious and challenging slide from "mature" manhood down to a petulant child. A great piece with wonderful acting moments. A perfect choice for a strong and fearless comedic actor.

PRODUCE THIS PLAY. DO IT NOW.

Wonder is Magical, inspired by Shakespearean greatness. Cross' command of Early Modern English phrasing completes the theatrical time travel. The relationship between Dee and the Automaton is reminiscent of Ariel and Prospero’s relationship.

Clever and witty, this play is a marvelous invention. Monica Cross broke the idea to me years ago, "Shakespeare as a Robot," and I had no idea what to think. I read an earlier draft, a one act, and was excited. To see what has become from this is pure delight.

The burden of insignificance is tough. It is even tougher when you're being judged by a snippy worker who seems to be an intern only interested in doing their job. The heart of this delightful comedy begs the question: how do we judge a person's significance, whether in office or in life?

Look out, James Garfield.
