Both coaches and students often struggle to find texts that are not overdone. We also understand that many excellent texts are unable to be cut due to various factors. With dwindling budgets, coaches need to maximize their buying power. We strive to write ready to compete, affordable selections. Some cutting may be necessary for specific event guidelines but all our pieces range from 7 to 15 minutes in length. TTF is dedicated to the production of a quality, product that will give our customers a competitive edge. We will not allow a piece to be published that we are not 100% sure can be a winner. Other companies have sprung up over the years mimicking our approach but you will find when it comes to the heart and soul of what makes a company like this work, writing, no one comes close. Our proven track record at local, state and national tournaments is proof that what we are doing, works.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCUSTOMER COMMENTS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy Duo partner and I went all the way to quarterfinals with Evolution of Manford at the CFL national tournament.

When Nick angrily demands expensive sneakers and insults others with a racial slur, Sam shares a story from his impoverished childhood in 1974, when his widowed, bitter mother packed his lunch in a reused bread sack and forbade him from befriending a Latina girl named Elizabeth. Through that girl’s quiet kindness, both Sam and his mother learned to shed their hatred and see humanity beyond race and poverty. The twist reveals that Elizabeth, grew up to be Sam’s late wife and Nick’s biological mother. The story moves from tension and anger to deep remorse and reconciliation, exploring how love and understanding can break cycles of fear and prejudice. Its emotional arc shifts from confrontation to revelation to healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNutmeg Mutiny\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eHI, Prose\u003c\/em\u003e) is a wild, comedic coming-of-age story about two fourteen-year-old friends, Sam and Nate, who accidentally hallucinate after taking the “nutmeg challenge.” What begins as a bored Saturday dare spirals into a chaotic, hallucinatory adventure at a seafood restaurant, where Sam imagines his family turning into sea creatures and the dinner into a musical battle between man and mollusk. His dad becomes a pun-slinging Lobster King, his mom a rock-singing mermaid, and their meal, a talking trout, he tries to save. Beneath the absurdity runs sharp humor and warm family chaos, showing teenage recklessness, embarrassed parents, and the bizarre places imagination can go. The story’s tone swings between slapstick and heartfelt, ending with laughter, regret, and one lingering question of whether that fish might still be waving goodbye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eMonster Tom\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDI, Prose\u003c\/em\u003e) is a dark, haunting story about Ned, the least successful of three brothers who reunite each year for a turkey hunt, a ritual begun by their late father. Haunted by a lifetime of ridicule and recent grief for his late wife, Ned sets out alone, desperate to prove himself and earn the approval he’s always imagined. As he waits in eerie silence, the woods turn unnaturally still until a monstrous turkey; massive, intelligent, and predatory, emerges from the shadows. When Ned’s gun jams, the creature attacks, killing him brutally, leaving only the quiet forest behind. The story blends the realism of family tragedy with supernatural horror, turning a man’s longing for pride and redemption into his gruesome downfall. Its tone moves from melancholy to dread, capturing the loneliness, shame, and fatal yearning for validation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eMake the Downpour Stop\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e(Poetry)\u003c\/i\u003e, Blair, a woman struggling to rebuild her life after losing her job, car, and stability, waits in the rain for a bus to a crucial interview. The poem unfolds like a quiet tragedy, blending hope with humiliation as every small obstacle, missed schedules, a dead phone, and a rejected credit card, pushes her closer to despair. When the bus finally arrives, a brief spark of triumph curdles into breakdown as she realizes she still can’t move forward. Blair’s journey captures the fragile line between resilience and collapse, showing how relentless setbacks can unravel a person’s grip on control. The tone shifts from desperation to manic laughter, ending in heartbreak as the rain, indifferent and eternal, starts again. This piece invites a performer to embody vulnerability, tension, and the haunting persistence of hope against futility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuck Up\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eDI, Prose\u003c\/em\u003e) a middle-aged woman relocates to an Arizona retirement community with a grim mission, to kill the man who assaulted her decades earlier. When she recognizes him in a Facebook ad for a pickleball club, she infiltrates his life, playing the role of a lonely new neighbor until she can exact revenge. Her plan unfolds with unsettling calm and precision, but after confronting and killing him, she discovers a photograph revealing he may have been an innocent twin. The story spirals from long-nursed trauma into tragic moral collapse, exploring how vengeance can blur identity and truth. Emotionally, it balances simmering rage, justified pain, and horrifying doubt, inviting a performer to navigate a shift from quiet resolve to unraveling remorse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tibetan Treefrog Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Digital Only","offer_id":47421577592995,"sku":"ttf-book16","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0063\/1942\/files\/TTF16_2.png?v=1773667194"}],"url":"https:\/\/speechgeekmarket.com\/collections\/tibetan-treefrog-publishing\/duo-interp.oembed","provider":"SpeechGeek Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
