Participants are free to choose monologues from all works and genres, from classic to contemporary theatre. Instructor Allen O’Reilly will work closely with each student in hour-and-a-half sessions to ensure their full breadth of charisma and confidence is conveyed through monologue delivery, helping to build toward the next phase of their acting career.
The workshop will be available Mondays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Individuals may meet for one-and-a-half hour segments for a fee of $75 per session, online via Zoom.
