About the Play:
A Feminine Ending has become a favourite of acting teachers for Female Monologues and Female/Male Scenes.
A Feminine Ending is a full-length dark comedy by Sarah
Treem. Young composer Amanda Blue knows what she wants, but not
quite how to get it. Her parents are splitting up, her fiancé is
almost famous, her first love reappears … there's a lot of noise in
her head, but none of it is music she wants to hear.
A Feminine Ending is a carefully composed journey from
where you are, to where you'll go. Having recently graduated from a
major conservatory, and with a rocker boyfriend on the brink of
stardom, aspiring composer Amanda Blue's "extraordinary life"
seems to be all mapped out. But when she's called home to answer her
mother's distress call about a [marriage in crisis/marital crisis],
Amanda's grand plan starts to unravel. A Feminine Ending is a
bittersweet play from the writer of HBO's House of Cards and In
Treatment about dreams deferred, loves lost and learning to trust a
woman's voice in a man's world.
Feminine Ending premiered in 2007 at
Playwrights Horizons off-Broadway in New York City and went on to regional
productions at South Coast Repertory and Portland Center Stage, among
others. The play has become a favourite scene study vehicle in acting classes and workshops and has been mounted by colleges and community theatres.
Cast: 2 female, 3 male
What people say:

is a promising beginning...the playwright has a sense of humor that
brings to mind a budding Wendy Wasserstein and a liberated sense of
form that evokes a junior Paula Vogel." — Los
Angeles Times
"Darkly comic...has undeniable
wit." — New York Post
"Appealingly outlandish
humor." — The New York Times
"Courageous. The 90-minute
piece swerves with nerve and naivete. Sarah Treem has a voice all her
own." — Newsday
