THE MANHATTAN MONOLOGUE SLAM

The long-running Manhattan Monologue Slam, formerly of the Zipper Factory and Bowery Poet's Club, comes to its new home at 92YTribeca for a night of electrifying theater. It's part Masterpiece Theater, part American Idol: Act One of the Slam features 8 pre-selected actors who perform 3-minute theatrical monologues (both dramatic and comedic), while Act Two features actors from the audience who have signed up on the spot to perform. A panel of industry big-wigs then rates the performances and offers their feedback. On Wednesday's panel: Lisa Gold, President of Actors Connection; Tim Walsh of Atlas Talent Agency; actor/producer Valerie Smaldone; casting director Robert Russell; and hip-hop legend The Kangol Kid. Whether you want to show off your monologue skills, or just want to see NYC's best up-and-coming talent in action, the Manhattan Monologue Slam will redefine the way you see theater.
