MONOLOGUE PLAY LAB (starting at $159)
Kelly is delighted to facilitate her popular Monologue Play Lab with showcase this fall for new and previous Play Lab participants. There’s beauty and meaning to mine from your life story, and this workshop will help you artistically express what you’ve overcome and achieved, and share your experience through the medium of theatre. During four two hour workshops on Zoom, you’ll present your monologue drafts, have them read by guest actors, and discuss revisions. Elements of dramatic structure will be discussed, including conflict, plot, subtext, voice, narrative, the importance of set-up, and collaboration. Each writer will present her monologue, performed by an actor, in the final showcase online in December which is free and open to the public. No prior playwriting experience is required.
