  • Rainy Night in a Piazza of Stone: a monologue for a dancer by Scott Sickles
    1 Nov. 2023
    “ There may be a wish here - a wish that every woman reading/seeing this could be Suzanna for at least five minutes. How many of us have had this walk home? Sickles leads us to a path where in our minds we are Suzanna. A wonderfully physical monologue where the dance could be life or death. ”
  • Postpartum by Jillian Blevins
    1 Nov. 2023
    “ Blevins has upped the ante on horror. Never has innocence been portrayed this frightening. There’s something about the baby… you may never look at a baby’s eyes in the same way. Don’t be fooled by the cast size. Yes, there are meaty roles for two actors but the Baby might eclipse them. Stephen King move over, there’s a new horror writer in town. ”
  • The Scarecrow and the Crow by Jonny Bolduc
    22 Oct. 2023
    “ Bolduc took me to a cornfield and showed me a world of amazements. Ir’s a unique fable for our times, all times, children times, and “grown-up” times. I was enchanted as will all who read this or are lucky enough to experience this in a theatre. ”
  • The Uninvited by Christopher Plumridge
    10 Oct. 2023
    “ Raw, honest, scary, dark with a glimmer of light. He describes it as personal” and it is indeed to many of us. Audiences will relate. Actors will find a monologue of great depth. ”
  • A WOMAN IN NEED by Martha Patterson
    23 Sep. 2023
    “ This is almost too much fun. Patterson has a field day with the femme fatale of crime noir and takes it where it needs to go. Move over, Hitchcock and Welles, there’s a new writer in town. If any actor wanted to emulate Bogey and Bacall, here’s your chance. A delight for audiences. ”
  • Gift Horse by Donna Hoke
    23 Sep. 2023
    “ Hoke deftly weaves a story of loss, hope, family, and relationships that twist and turn as you learn about these two strangers. The background information is seamlessly integrated into the dialogue and we want to know more. And Hoke obliges with an ending that rings of truth and consequences. Actors will find much to mine here and audiences will be swept into the journey. ”
  • A Crossing by Lee R. Lawing
    22 Sep. 2023
    “ As someone who did the Staten Island crossing for years, Lawing’s play spoke to me. You wake up, you think, you dream, you hope, and you remember. Lawing’s play speaks to all those thoughts and more. And he adds in hope which is always welcome. ”
  • When in Rome by Morey Norkin
    21 Sep. 2023
    “ After reading the character list, I knew I had to read the play immediately. I then immediately reread it because I suspected I missed some jokes (I did! I did! I did miss some jokes!) We all need a burst of silly in our days. Do yourself a favor, and get your silly dose here (and come back for a booster.) I am already jealous of the actors who will get to play these roles. ”
  • Adult Membership by Rachel Feeny-Williams
    19 Sep. 2023
    “ I have always wondered what made me an adult. Rachel Feeny-Williams exceeded my expectations as she laid bare expectations, contradicted them and made them personal. Concise and witty, you may want to take your own test and see if you qualify. Because there will be prizes. Prizes for being an adult - what a concept! ”
  • What I Saw on Christmas Eve: A Monologue by Cole Hunter Dzubak
    19 Sep. 2023
    “ The spirit of Christmas lives in this poignant and heartfelt monologue. And while it is a Christmas story, it’s also a reminder of the “good” which is something we need all year. Surprising and specific, Cole Hunter Dzubak has fashioned a story for the ages. ”
