LOVE! WANT!

You couldn't do the Soldier recalling the Battle of Yonkers? Sheesh. That's my favorite part of the book.

But this looks to be one awesome show.

Dude. I tried. I tried so hard, but the cut just wasn't working... If this project goes well, I'm VERY interested in doing a longer version, and that would mean longer monologues, and his would be one of them.

Still looking for people! They are just five min monologues for awesome people!

Um... yeah!

As I mentioned to Heidi WHEN SHE SO BRAVELY REQUESTED TO AUDITION: This is a great chance to do some super sweet and easy scripted work!

These are "story telling" monologues: Poignant stories told to the audience about the personal horrors experienced during a zombie apocalypse that decimated the earths population 12 years ago.

So don't be scared! I'm gentle, and would love to give out imps the opportunity to show this world.

Oh, and for the uninitiated, you don't have to be a fan of zombie stories to like this book. Even if I didn't like zombie stories, I'd still think World War Z was one of the best books I've ever read.

I would love to try my hand at auditioning for the narrator part.

If I can get up and share what I did during How Improv Saved My Life with poise and self-assurance, I might be able to do this.

This is awesome that you're doing this! Will try to make it to the show and maybe audition for a role when it grows!
