March 2023 Newsletter

Hello, Theater Friends!

It has been a while! Happy "all those holidays" I missed! The past few months, in addition to teaching theater, attending theater, and keeping up on my own theater, I visited a wolf sanctuary, immersed myself in a Harry Potter forest, and even squeezed in a family getaway to ski and snow tube! And now, our Blink-and-Miss-It Winter in the NYC area is basically over (that's fake snow in the photo!).

If you like updates more often, please follow my my FACEBOOK PAGE as I frequently share new plays, monologues and videos there. You can also connect with me on Instagram where you'll get some theater updates, but also updates of my cat, our fig tree and random videos of things like laser tag or a polar bear cocoa bomb!

Now, let me catch you up theatrically! Check out this issue filled with 6 new one-act plays, 5 new monologues, 4 new compilations, 3 publication announcements, 2 photos of Kiwi (our family cat), and 1 monologue video.

Here's to wishing you all good, creative, joyful things in 2023 and beyond! 

 Warmly,

Tara

Happy Holidays!

As we wind down 2021, I wish you all a happy and peaceful holiday season. And if you're looking for some last-minute festive theater, whether performances or readings, check out my monologues and short plays below. From a large-cast children's play to a 5-minute one-woman show, from a play which transitions easily into virtual productions to new short monologues - theater is a joy during the holidays! To get you more into the magical holiday mood, be sure to watch Nevaeh Cable's performance of "Begging Blitzen."

Warmly,
Tara

October 2020 Newsletter: Theater ideal for Halloween

in

Enjoy my October newsletter, featuring lots of theater ideal for Halloween!

Happy Halloween and Happy Fall!

Many of us are celebrating holidays differently during this pandemic, and I resurrected an old tradition by carving a pumpkin with my family for the first time in years. I even roasted the seeds (one batch olive oil and bagel seasoning; the other batch butter and cinnamon sugar). Fun and YUM! I think we're all trying to appreciate the large and small things, right? And...that always includes our mutual love--theater!

Halloween just might be the most dramatic holiday of the year! We love to delve into the silly, the spooky and the weird for this season. So let's enjoy some Halloween theater below - monologues, plays, and even a creepy dramatic read-aloud by yours truly (my alter-ego, Chat-n-Read!).

Happy Creating!

December 2018 Newsletter

in ,

Check out my December newsletter.

Amazon boxes on the porch, peppermint star cookies in my stomach, Elf playing on tv while I clean up from the Holiday Murder Mystery party I threw over the weekend--this is a slice of the middle of December for me. You?

However you celebrate the holidays, it's always fun to pack in a bit of theater (I loved the one-man show of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, told in an historic Dutch church from the 1600s!). So check out some of my festive pieces below--a new monologue, a "how to" on writing your own cheesy Christmas rom-com, and more.

Enjoy the season and Happy Creating!

Warmly,
Tara
