Thistle Dew Dessert Theatre Announces MONOLOGUE MANIA, Calls For Submissions & Actors

By:

Calling all Essayists! Pulp Fiction Writers! Poets! Novelists! Journalists! Come join us every Monday evening at 7:00. (Except national holidays).
If you don't know by now, we'll convince you that you can write a play. Even a three minute play.

Now that you are a Playwright the Thistle Dew needs more Monologues. It's all about monologues.
You are invited to write and submit for reading and critique (any Monday evening) a 5-7 minute monologue for production at the Thistle Dew. Monologues may be either comedic or dramatic, in verse or in prose. There are four categories: politics, home life, your first romance, and growing up. All monologues must be read before the group and work-shopped for production.

We are gathering monologues to present to our audiences in an evening of entertainment during the months of July, August, and September. Our plans are to present a new set of monologues every month.

Depending on the quality and number of submissions, they will be produced at the Thistle Dew Theatre, then submitted for publication to JAC Publishing in a book of monologues by The Thistle Dew Playwrights' Workshop.

There are no guarantees for production and or publication.

Cindy Bennett, GloRia Jones, Charles Kelso, Frank Ingram, Karen Kearney, Charley Cross, Theresa Elliott, Tim Cahill, Roger Linden, Bernie Goldberg, Mark Fejta, and Julie Greene have contributed lively pieces so far.

YOU COULD BE A PART OF OUR VERY SUCCESSFUL GROUP.
We continue to accept new monologues at workshop. Those that are best developed through rewrites and continued workshopping will be selected for production. Workshop members will be part of the selection process.

We need seasoned actors to present our monologues.
AUDITIONS: EVERY SATURDAY MORNING FROM 10:00 UNTIL NOON.
PLEASE STOP BY FOR A COLD READ WITH RESUME IF YOU HAVE ONE.

Still writing full-length plays, one-act plays? Terrific! Workshops through June, July and August will focus on monologues, with a return to longer one-act and full-length readings after the monologue series
