Director Statement

This is an unusual entry because it is a self-taped theater audition. I developed these two monologues in an acting class and submitted this video for a city-wide audition.

It took a lot of focus to fit the rule of two contrasting pieces in just under two minutes. I was 76 years old at the time.

I hope this brings you a bit of whimsy and curiosity.
