Congratulations to the cast and crew of The Ithaca Ladies Read Medea for being the Metro West Conference Champions, placing first in the Section 3AA competition, and taking third in Finals!
I was on Let's Make a Deal and Wayne Brady read some of Lord Abernathy's monologue from The Lady Demands Satisfaction! Oh, and I won a fabulous prize, but honestly - WAYNE BRADY READ MY PLAY! That's the best prize. During the break between the two episodes we filmed that day, he came up to me and said he was reading it and it was "very funny!" And that guy knows funny when he sees it!
Blood and Coal Dust is currently shortlisted for the Vietnam Short + Sweet Festival! My fingers are crossed as it would be my first production in Vietnam!
My silly, frantic farce The lady Demands Satisfaction will be produced by Rover Dramawerks in Plano, Texas, January 2026...and I'll be traveling to Texas to see it, talk to the cast...and maybe have an audience talkback!
I am absolutely thrilled to announce that TRICKED will be published soon by YouthPLAYS. It's my sixteenth play with them, and it's a genuinely scary horror play for two teens!
My unexpected take on the Three Little Pigs, STRAW, STICKS, BRICKS has just been published by YouthPLAYS. It's my fifteenth play with them!
It's the tale of three building materials who long to become houses, and what happens when they meet three pigs on the run from a big, bad wolf. Given the state of the country right now, I am so proud of this brave little play, that tells us that everyone–even a pile of straw–deserves to have their story told.
My subversive take on the Dickens classic Mrs. Dilber's Christmas Carol has a new promo video, and a second edition of the play after some rewrites following the LA Production. I came up with some good ideas, some new lines - but I also have been working on a secret project that inspired me to do some major structural changes to the opening scene... and Gene Kato and everyone at Next Stage Press was excited to get them into print!
My latest monologue No Quarter Given was beautifully performed by Matthew Menendez at the Faces of America Monologue festival #6, on November 23, 2024 at the Marjorie S. Deane Theater in New York City, and is now published in their anthology.
So this site has had over 1.5 million visitors (see the counter above!), and I added a button for the "Buy me a coffee" website, thinking it might offset the cost of hosting the free monologues to download. Well.. it didn't. There was an initial burst of tips from some lovely friends, for which I am very grateful... and since then... very quiet. But you might be the visitor that suprises me! Chip in a buck or two today!
A drama teaching friend of mine asked me to muse on what makes a strong standalone monologue for her class... so here's my take on it!
