KMJ Productions Presents MONETTE 5/5-8

KMJ Productions Inc., producers of the mega-hit sketch comedy SKITZ & GIGGLEZZ, brings you it's second production "MONETTE" a one-woman show, written and produced by Kymberle Joseph and directed by Gene Hughes.

On a not so typical Friday night Kennedy Monette settles in for the evening with her comfort essentials: 1 bottle of her favorite red wine, 1 hand-blown wine glass, 1 scented candle and 1 IPod with the perfect playlist. With her divorce papers in front of her and her only son off to college she fights off the chill from her empty nest. Every thought of what is to come is married with a thought of what has past.

Kennedy "Monette", this comedic-drama, is played by Kymbali Craig who embodies the unique personas of eleven characters explored in this astonishing one-woman show. She has the challenging task of depicting eight distinctive men and three vastly different women. Witness this truly gifted entertainer as she transforms herself from Monette' silk-tongue father to her folklore tale telling Caribbean mother, to her rigidly uptight best friend, to her Puerto-Rican Ruff-Neck ex-lover to a host of other colorful characters who all have a story to tell. "Monette" takes the audience on a journey filled with laughter, sorrow, pain, love, despair and most importantly...hope. You are invited to join her on her journey.

Kymbali Craig is no stranger to the world of one-person shows. She recently starred in Male Gaze which received rave reviews in the One Dialogue Festival at the Williamstown Theater in Massachusetts. She also recently appeared in the debut of Sonia Sanchez's play "The Bronx Next" at the Riverside Church theatre.
