The Monologue Project invites you to a special event that celebrates Women of the African Diaspora and their impact on theater and the world. The event will be held at the Bishop Arts Theatre Center on Monday, November 20, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. featuring some of Dallas’ most talented artists. We join in solidarity with the woman-driven activism of movements like Black Lives Matter, acknowledging the essential role of black women in America. The event will be followed by a discussion and call-to-action.
The mission of the project is to increase the canon of audition length monologues for Women of the African Diaspora. Writers from across the nation, including such luminaries as Amy Evans, Pia Wilson, Charlayne Woodard, Dominique Morisseau, Mfoniso Udofia, Cori Thomas and Chisa Hutchinson, have contributed monologues to the project, many of them original. Professional and student actors will perform the monologues, which span the gamut from intensely moving to intensely funny. The event is hosted by the following:
