The final performance of your monologue will be Wednesday, October 10.
You should have it fully memorized by Thursday, October 4. Then you will have the weekend and Monday's class to perfect the blocking and inflections.
Some of you have worried that you wrote too much too memorize; if this is the case, you are certainly allowed to edit it down a bit. But you must turn in a written copy containing only the text that you will memorize for the final performance.
In class, several students have performed paraphrases of what they have written, or done it extemporaneously as they further develop their ideas. But the time has come now to commit to a precise text.
Minor differences, such as I went out for a drive vs. I went out driving are acceptable. However, there should be no additions or deletions of whole sentences.
Length: Between 90 seconds and five minutes. But even if you are on the longer side, what you say needs to match what you wrote.
Pat and I have been thrilled watching and listening to all of you as you dig within yourselves to find the humor and pathos that drives all dramatic literature. Wednesday should be quite a show!
