1 Don't do monologues from movies.
If you do a monologue from a movie, people will automatically think 'not like in the movie'. That will make them think negative things, and because you're not like the actor/actress in the movie, they'll most likely think less of your ability.

Pieces like the 'To be or not to be' speech from Hamlet, or something like that, the directors have seen those all the time. They get tired of seeing that. It's not unique anymore, and they'll lose interest fast. Do ones that haven't been performed enough, or better yet, one you...

Dear Ms. or Mr. Donna,

Technology defines modern progress, but at what cost? As society takes on a different shape, do we lose the culture that defines who we are as a people? How do we determine what to preserve and what to revolutionize?

Indian American actress-writer Shubhra Prakash takes audiences on a journey of innovation, preservation, and self-discovery with her one-woman show “Fontwala.” The story follows an immigrant woman who returns to India after 20 years to cover a story about her uncle, the designer of the first Anglo Nagari keyboard for the computer.

Yoko Ono catapulted to fame as the wife of John Lennon. For many, she also bares responsibility for the breakup of the most beloved band ever, The Beetles. But, to at least one – she became an inspiration.

Actress ANZU LAWSON reveals how this iconic Japanese-American influenced her own journey of self-discovery in the new one-woman show “DEAR YOKO.” Based on her life, Anzu weaves together a tale spanning years of domestic violence, suicidal ideations, drug addiction and sexual harassment.

Anzu premiered "Dear Yoko" at the Hollywood Fringe Festival in September and will take it to the Binge...
