D. LEE MILLER is on to something with the noir style short play. I can't wait to read more.

WHAT A HOOT! If the idea of a giant cat attacking there city doesn't pull you into this brilliant short play, it will be the hilarious back and forth between our two... heroes? READ THIS. PRODUCE THIS. RIDICULOUS FUN!

Youth performers would have a ball of yarn bringing the monologue CAT HAZ TROPHY by ANJ MARIE RIFFEL to life for an audition! This cat's voice is full of zest and grandeur - SO MUCH FUN! Add the physical movement possibilities, and this monologue is a sure hit.

WOW! Short, concise, powerful, and painful. LOU JONES' short play THE KILLING OF THE LAST FEMALE CAT will have audiences talking.

HILARIOUS! This short and effective monologue by JULIE BRANDON is perfect for any performer of any age. I could see a 10-year-old or 75-year-old brining this tall TAIL to life. So many physical possibilities for an audition piece.

WHAT A FABULOUS way to merge vampire lore AND noir! JULIE BRANDON has created a tone, a mystique, a moment that will have audiences on the edge of their seats. BLOODY, brilliant.

Mothers give so much to their children. Once in a while, it's nice to have something given back to them. While it's no case of Münchausen syndrome, it get it - faking an injury for just a moment of love and tenderness in a life where you are the main care giver. SAMARA SISKIND has created a monologue that many women will connect with. JUST LOVELY.

You can't blame a journalist for trying. IAN DONLEY has written a delightful short play that pays homage to the Queen of Denmark herself, Gertrude. The banter is fabulous as the interpretor brings old English up to modern dialect... even when it's embellished just a little. High School English teachers should add this tot he curriculum and assign students to write one themselves! IAN DONLEY could inspire a mother generation of playwrights with his creativity and humor.

The loss of a loved one is the most painful thing imaginable. NEIL RADTKE gives us a private glimpse into a very private, final moment between Kyle and Emma. These 60 seconds say so much about grief and whether someone can move forward to a new reality.

Hilarious! Just had the pleasure of listening to this adorable short play on Theatrical Shenanigans, and I actually LOLed! Perfect for any VERY short play festival.
