Three marvelous monologues for an actress ...

Second Lady - ideal for an actress in her forties or fifties, this is a powerful 70 minute performance piece about a fictional political wife. She has mislaid her prepared remarks and must draw on her experiences and recollections to fulfill a speaking engagement on behalf of her husband

Her stories become more and more personal as she peels away rationalizations and justifications she has accumulated over the years and confronts the truths of her life and marriage

"A searing and soaring experience" ~ Hollywood Reporter

Astronaut - This is about a courageous female NASA pilot and space explorer who has admired and emulated male role models all her life

She has just returned to earth after leading the first NASA mission to colonize the moon and is appearing at a press conference

As she recounts the adventures and challenges of her mission, she comes to understand and treasure her femininity as well as the legacy she received from a female role model - her mother. Approx 45 minutes

Fairytale Romance - A woman in her late thirties who yearns for marriage and children of her own tells a well known fairytale to her young (unseen) niece

Whimsical humor punctuates this poignant story of a woman whose eye is on her biological clock while she tries to overcome her boyfriend's fear of commitment. Approx 15 minutes
