Here’s What’s Cookin’

 

This Is For Us

Writer + Director, ALEXIS SIMS
Lead Producer, MONIQUE MORGAN

All in an instant, suspended in the space between two breaths, Emily suffers a miscarriage and time stops.

In the reflective stream of consciousness that follows, three women emerge:

Taylor, who just met the love of her life after swearing off men. Samantha, a new divorcée experiencing the world for the first time. And Cat, struggling to find her voice in a world that wasn’t made for her.

It is precisely in this moment that something shifts, and they discover the tie that binds them is even stronger than loss.

This Is For Us had its first staged reading in 2021 at The Tank NYC and was helmed by an entirely female and non-binary BIMPOC cast, and a nearly all female crew and creative team. We are looking forward to a 2022/23 full stage production.

 

Silent Lucidity

A Play By MONIQUE MORGAN

When Genevieve learns horrifying details about her childhood, she goes into such a state of shock it nearly kills her.

Memories come rushing back, in and out of focus, as she confronts the demons of her past through a series of lucid and non-lucid states.

But is there a way back to now if those scars refuse to heal?

Silent Lucidity is an exploration of grief and the rebirth that comes from working through trauma.

It is a reminder that sometimes the path forward is behind us.

This play is currently in development.

 

"Every now and then something seismic happens in the world. Tonight after seeing Monique Morgan's performance I'm seeing the constellations! It was a perfectly crafted show, with an amazing talent at the center of her own universe who delivered incredible vocals and her own unique philosophical take. She is a force to be reckoned with."
