Have a great idea for a Ten-Minute Play? How about a comedic/dramatic monologue? Or just a story you want to write that you think will be entertaining when voiced by professional actors?

We want to read your stories and turn them into podcast episodes for Still-a-Frog! WOMAN: My point is dear, relationship building exercises tend to have a way of tearing us apart. WOMAN: And then, do you remember the one night we got into that terrible fight-I don’t even recall what it was about now…and you trying to be all “I’m right, but that’s fine, I will just go and sleep out by the fire because I’m a manly man.” But then within like an hour your lips were blue, and you’d lost all feeling in your fingers and toes.

Always high fiving and chest bumping and screeching out “in your face” or “booya!” WOMAN: Remember that one unbearably annoying couple who tried to be like the winners except there was no competition-treating it as though we were on Survivor or something. MAN: Okay, okay, yes I admit, not the best idea… Remember the couples retreat in that kids day camp place with all the bug infested tents? That went swimmingly, didn’t it? WOMAN: Now we’re walking on a bit of a slippery slope, wouldn’t you say? You know how these things tend to go for us. Let’s not think of it as a game per se, more like, um, an exercise in relationship building.

MAN: No one has to emerge the-look, let’s just try it. WOMAN: But where’s the fun if no one can win? Isn’t that kind of implicit when you hear the words “play a game”- that someone has to emerge the victor? MAN: Yes, it’s just playing for fun right now…the two of us. WOMAN: So in this game no one can win unless four people are playing, is that what you’re saying?
