    OLGA SANCHEZ: Director, Artistic Director • Think fun, this is an opportunity to perform for an audience! • Be friendly as you introduce yourself in the beginning, and say thank you at end -- you're showing the auditors a little bit of who you are (not the characters in your monologues) -- and we want to know that the person we'll be working with is pleasant! • Please don't look at the auditors in the eye during your monologues. • If you're presenting two monologues think about the two different characters you are creating, how they stand, walk, talk -- show us you know how to create characters different from yourself and distinct in themselves. • Think about intention -- What does your character want? Does it achieve its intention by the end of the monologue? Your monologue is a mini-play, consider the beginning, middle and end. • Think about who you're talking to: A stranger? A close friend?

It sounds so obvious, but you'd be surprised how many people do the opposite.) • Select pieces that CONTRAST with one another, if you're doing more than one -- show off your range (vocally, physically, stylistically).

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • Al Carmines and the Judson Poets’ Theater from the Early Sixties to the Present, the Judson Poets‟ Theatre – True to Its Title – Has Showcased the Plays of Poets
    Al Carmines and the Judson Poets’ Theater From the early sixties to the present, the Judson Poets‟ Theatre – true to its title – has showcased the plays of poets. The Judson has encouraged and produced the plays of such poetic talents as Paul Goodman, George Dennison, Rochelle Owens, Sam Shepard, and Lanford Wilson. In addition, musicals have been a keystone of the Judson Poets‟ Theatre. And why not? For, musicals are a type of poetry, set to melody. Sometimes Judson‟s musicals have been part of double bills. Sometimes they comprise an entire evening of theatre. In any case, the Judson musicals have proved to be the most popular of all the Judson attractions. If one is to cite an autochthonous form of Off Off Broadway musical, this form is best exemplified by the Judson musicals. These musicals are secular, impudent mixtures of the nostalgic and avant garde, with a dash of social commentary. However, they are chiefly designed to entertain, not upheave the audience. More than anyone else, Al Carmines perhaps has been the major guiding force behind these musicals, as presented at the Judson Memorial Church. Carmines has always been steeped in music, from his youth onwards. Yet his background hardly foreshadowed his present positions: as Reverend, songwriter, and backbone of the musicals at the Judson Church. Born in Hampton, VA., Carmines is the son of Kay, a school teacher, and Al Carmines Sr., a Chesapeake Bay fishing captain. Carmines‟ contributions to the history of the Judson Poets‟ Theatre are many. They are nicely summarized by Albert Poland and Bruce Mailman, in “The Off Off Broadway Book: The Play, People, Theatre” The artists who have flourished since the form, color and content that would later assimilate itself early 1960s at the Judson Poets‟ and Dance Theatres into the Judson style.

  • Asolo Repertory Theatre Presents the American Character and the 2012
    1 For Immediate Release: March 5, 2012 Media Contact: Steph Gray, Public Relations Coordinator 941.351.9010 ext. 4800; [email protected] Asolo Repertory Theatre Presents The American Character and the 2012-2013 season 2012-2013 Season will kick off Five Year American Character Project (SARASOTA, Fla.)- Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards and Managing Director Linda DiGabriele are pleased to announce Asolo Repertory Theatre’s 54th season, containing four Pulitzer Prize winning plays, Three Tony Award® winners and one world premiere, all centering around the theme The American Character. The American Character Project will examine and celebrate the extraordinary people, culture, history and experiences that make our country unique. It will serve as a guiding, artistic principle for Asolo Rep over the next five seasons. The 2012-2013 season will feature an all American Character season, and the following four seasons will feature select productions that explore, embody, and attempt to define what it truly means to be an American. The project will also increase the commitment to new American playwriting, and Asolo Rep will produce at least one world premiere each season. “The American Character Project is a five year artistic initiative that poses a series of galvanizing questions: what is the American character? How did it come to be? What is its nature? How has it evolved into what it is now? Where is it going?” said Producing Artistic Director Michael Donald Edwards. “It’s impossible to ever concretely define such a vast, far-reaching concept as the American character, but that is precisely why it is worth exploring.
