I'm David Meyer. I produce and MC the shows G.L., the playwright, is Geralyn, my wife. Her web site, StagePage [http://www.StagePage.info/], 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 [http://www.stagepage.info/monologs/_monologs.html] 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 [http://www.stagepage.info/mouthoffs/oneminutemonologues.html]. Some she agrees with, some not. Some the originators might recognize, some not at all.
