It’s Been One Week – 2022
“It’s Been One Week,” the return of our monologue-writing competition!
Playwrights and performers were paired into 7 teams for a week-long competition. Teams had one week to write, rehearse, and perform a memorized, brand-new, 2-5 minute monologue based on the prompt (“Greek words for love”) randomly assigned to them. The videos were premiered on Sat Feb 26 2022 at 7:30pm on both Facebook and YouTube. Prizes were awarded to the top team as voted by the audience.
