We celebrated the passing of our friend "Prof" Will Stackman at the Cambridge River Festival, on the banks of the Charles River, yesterday. We shared stories and read several of his short plays. We came away feeling better, which is what I believe he would have wanted. I managed to record some of it and edited the best of it down to present here.
Interviews and readings of monologs and short pieces taken from the hundreds available on G.L.Horton's web site - StagePage.Info - and available for free to students and to actors for use as audition pieces.
I'm David Meyer. I produce and MC the shows G.L., the playwright, is Geralyn, my wife.
Her web site, StagePage, gets over a thousand visitors on an average day.
I'm the techie, the one with the computer skills and the background in radio (two or three 'years' back), and I get to create the shows.
Shows about Real Theater. About Art - a Performing Art - and it includes the works of artists - works you can't find anywhere else.
Geralyn wants to have one of her plays produced.
What she has are requests to do her monologues. This is nice, good feedback, but anyone is welcomed to use the monologues for school or for auditions. A year ago, most of her monologues were taken from her longer works - longer speeches that may require a little set-up. Then she started taking snippets of over-heard conversations, blogs, and other source material and turning them into One-Minute Mouth-Offs. Some she agrees with, some not. Some the originators might recognize, some not at all.
