          Welcome -
  there are over 100 pages on this site
           
(as of March 3, 2013) click here for Site Map


         H
ow this works -

-Read the blurbs in the right column

-If you would like to read the entire monologue, click on the blurb title

-You can pay 99¢ to use the monologue on that page before or after reading the entire monologue

-It's the honor system.  After 33 years in the business, I trust actors and directors.  (Also, if you are so poor you cannot afford 99¢ for a monologue that you will use for an audition that might win you a million dollar part, then you may have it as my gift - just email me at tigerteam1@gmail.com and let me know you are using it.)


Why do I let everyone read for free? 

 
Details-

Because when you go into a store, you can look at the merchandise, drive it, try it on, examine it.  It's the same with these newer monologues.

My work has been produced and performed internationally.

The monologues here are newer -so you have something less used than Shakespeare and Neil Simon.  Which is good.

My other work - published and produced often - is available elsewhere on this site - have fun, look around, and good luck!  (I used to say 'break a leg' - until my son actually broke his leg.)  So now I wish all of you much success. To contact me, please email tigerteam1@gmail.com.  Thank you!


-Paying 99cents allows you to use that one monologue for an audition or school room performance only - not for any performance where admission or donation is charged  You will have permission to video, provided the author receives full rights

REMIND ME TO KILL MYSELF- (3-5 min.  M  older)  Losing your mind makes so many things difficult…..

SAY SOMETHING NICE (1-2 min.  M  teens-30s)  Everyone should have a moment to just…say something nice, especially if it’s to someone you love….or loved.

               Free offers to production companies 
                   (click here to go to Royalty-Free Plays page)

             Special offer for all companies that have produced my work*******
             If you have produced one of my plays and would like to try something new,
             I present my 'FREE - no royalties for the first weekend' offer
(3 shows -one weekend)  

             Example - if you produced THE AFFIDAVIT, I would give you permission to              produce CURSE OF THE DUCHESS with no royalties for the first weekend!)

      
             Special offer for all companies that have NOT produced my work*******
             If you have never produced one of my plays and would like to try something new,
             try my FREE no royalties offer for the first weekend (3 shows -one weekend)

             for a play that has never been published or produced.

             This is your chance to get a world premiere - with no royalties for the first
              weekend!    All the plays offered have been read publicly and I am available for               rewrites at no cost to your company.   Why do I do this?   Because even though 
              most of my
work has been published and/or produced, I would like to see all my '
              work out on its own.   So, in the same way Mrs. Fields gave out free samples (of
              which I had many!), I am offering my work to groups that want to take a risk on
               something new - but not a totally unknown quantity.
             

               As you can see by navigating around this site (my playwriting abilities are
              better than my website skills)  my plays are well-received and well-reviewed.
              My work has been produced extensively throughout the United States and
              Canada, and in many countries worldwide.   (UK, Austria, New Zealand, Burma,
               China and more)

               (and perhaps - after you try something for free, you might want to try more                     of my other cookies....I mean plays.)
