Those Long Forgotten Hymns
by Musa Bacon
Jackson Pollock never met a bar he didn't like, but one that always found a place in his heart, was the Cedar Tavern. Home to some of the country's most celebrated modern artists, the Cedar Tavern became a pantheon for the wild and dangerous displays that gave the tortured artist his reputation for living out of control.
3 males 35-40 to play Jackson Pollock. VERSALITY A MUST – you will be playing other characters besides Pollock

McGurk's Suicide Hall
by Josh Rozett
In 1902, John McGurk had the infamous renown for owning a pub that became New York's premier haven for suicidal prostitutes. When an ambitious cleric walks in on McGurk's disposal of yet another unfortunate young woman, things get out of control and tensions between the classes become a catalyst for a thrilling Easter morning.
2 males 40s-60s – Irish brogue (one bar owner; one politician)
1 male 35-45 (conservative preacher)
1 male – 20's – Irish brogue
3 females – 20-35 (one prostitute – no lines; one prostitute – hard-edged; one preacher's wife – under the thumb of her husband)
Prepare one 90-second contemporary monologue.  Females should be prepared to sing a short lullaby of your choice, a capella.
