Renowned playwright Jon Jory wrote this monologue play to honor the sacrifices we all made during the COVID era.  As a staged production, there are no set or costume requirements, and it’s naturally socially distanced already!  And as a virtual production, it doesn’t get any easier than this since only one camera needs to be on at any one time.

This play takes place in the COVID era, during a stay-at-home order.  Each character is school-aged and shares their feelings of being stuck at home.  Some are bored and eager for any human interaction outside their family, while others are quite productive in what they’re doing with their time while cooped up at home.  The 16 monologues are two to three minutes each, and most of them are gender neutral, so the cast can be any combination of male and female.  The cast size is also adaptable.  A cast of eight is suggested, with each actor doing two pieces.  Monologue titles include “The Lingonberry Caper,” “Those Who Came Before,” and “Richard Nixon’s Breath.”  Permission to cut one or two monologues is provided for a slightly shorter production.
