Members Only, a short play about password dilemmas, will feature in the Acting Out Troupe’s debut performance, Senior Moments, in Mt Barker, South Australia, and will also be performed by students at Butler University in Indianapolis, and Bismarck High School in Arkansas, USA.

What do Mt Barker in South Australia, Waiheke Island in New Zealand and Indianapolis, Florida and Arkansas in the USA and have in common?

ALL will be staging my FREE short plays in the coming months.  

Hannah Luciani, a theatre major at Butler University, Indianapolis, USA, Emily Golden, a sponsor for the Drama Club at Bismarck High School in Arkansas, USA and Anne Marie Serrano at the Acting Out Troupe in Mt Barker, South Australia, will all be producing Members Only, my short play about the problem of passwords.

William Glenn, theatre instructor at the Pasco-Hernando State College in Wesley Chapel, Florida, will be producing and directing Oliver with a Twist, an absurdist play about modern food culture, with his Theatre Appreciation Class for their final end-of-term project.

And Linda Savage will be producing and directing Advice to Young Lovers on Valentine’s Day, about a much-married florist, for the Artworks Community Theatre in Waiheke Island, New Zealand, as part of the company’s Short ‘Solo’ Play Show.

Meanwhile, Lorri Alexander, from Cape Code, Massachusetts, will be producing the monologue Flowers, about a rebel social worker, at the Academy Playhouse in Orleans.

‘The Last Minute’ a winner at World Monologue Games

I’m also thrilled to report that Clare Martin-Reed in Northhamptonshire in the Midlands, UK, came third in the Regional Finals of the World Monologue Games with my monologue The Last Minute, about a woman who is fed up with Christmas.

Here’s a video (below) of Clare’s wonderful performance (she’s the fourth actor). Congratulations, Clare!

Thank you so much to all those who have chosen to use my work and who have reached out to let me know.

It’s great to feel connected to the international theatre community from way “down under” in my little rural town of Castlemaine in Victoria, Australia.

My FREE monologues and short plays are available on the condition that I am fully credited and you let me know when and how they will be used, and send photos and feedback. I love hearing from you!

Here’s what those who are using my work are saying about it:

“I looked online , happily came upon your monologues and this one really stood out . It’s lovely,”

  • Lorri , Cape Cod, MA, writing about Flowers.

I had some terrific feedback from those who watched it – they loved the piece.

  • Clare Martin-Reed (Northhamptonshire, UK), afe about The Last Minute

Finding interesting and challenging monologues for women to assist with auditions can be a difficult task, especially for amateur theatre. It was such a pleasure for me to find a number of your monologues that I would like to use to assist the actors who bravely come out to audition for our local theatre group.

  •  Douglas  J. Avram, Elgin Theatre Guild,  St Thomas, Ontario Canada.

I absolutely loved it.

Linda Savage, Waiheke Island, NZ, writing about Advice to Young Lovers on Valentine’s Day.

….the kids LOVE this play! I think it is by far their favorite.

  • Emily Golden, Sponsor for Short Play Festival producing Members Only at Bismarck High school, USA.
