Site news
Four New One Acts added in January
2008! And Check out our "Radio
Show" with actors and theatre
mavins commenting on the state of local events and happenings
in theatre — together with monologues from this site.
Fascinating!!! Love the podcasts...the production qualities
are wonderful (I don't know why I expected any less, but I
was pleasantly surprised). Have been on assorted areas of your
web site for the past hour, enjoying your writing, your intelligence,
your multiple voices, the spirit of largesse and the general
abundance of information. I remembered that I wanted to go
and see Lisa Kron's production at the Huntington, but never
made it. Reading your commentary reminded me why I wished I
had gone. --DR
Essays: For the newest
essays, see her stageblog-GLHorton.
You can also read G.L. Horton's earlier commentary and opinions
on the theatre.
Monologues: The
One-Minute Mouth-Offs monologues
are not from any of the plays, and are added to regularly.

by age, length of monologue, and genre (drama/comedy).

Requests and testimonials
I think doing voice-overs for your website would be a perfect
starting project for the actors in our new Actors in Residence
program! Once the casting is complete we can grab the actors
and set a date to do the recordings. We will be in touch! --CM
I teach english and drama in a Georgia high school, and I was
looking for lesson plan ideas when I came across your website.
It is wonderful. You provide an incredible resource for educators.
Thanks! --KB
I'd like to encourage many to read Geralyn's "Under
Siege" - it is an important, important piece of work,
and challenges ALL. I tried once to hook it up with a college
Theatre Dept - a great venue for it IMO, to no avail. I'd like
to challenge someone to produce it. But please. Read this play.
And THINK. It is why theatre is. --AN
Geralyn, your website has been an invaluable resource to actors
at my studio. It's been posted on the TAS bulletin board for
years. I will make sure from now on that when any TAS actor
uses one of your monologues, that they take the time to acknowledge
you -- personally. The Internet is, indeed, your muse -- and
you share your works generously. Good karma. The word spreads.
--Bill Smith, THE
ACTING STUDIO in Denver, CO.
