The first live performance of my recent monologue, " One's Company ", took place in August at the Dickinson Island Summer Theatre to a small but appreciative audience. I was feeling hesitant about this show after the success of my previous work, " Fiddelity ". But it takes an audience to bring a play alive. I feed off an audience. They are either with you or against you. The play has been tweaked this summer while we have been at our rustic summer cabin on Blackwater Lake in Ontario. I would describe the play as being a "whimsical drama set in the time of Covid". The play runs about 55 minutes.
This blog is for the purpose of reporting on past and future shows I have or will be performing in. Since 2019, these plays are monologues that I have written. Theatre on a shoe-string budget requires all the help it can get from social media. I trained as an actor and performed professionally in the 1970s before becoming a lawyer in the 1980s. In the 1990s and early 2000s, I performed occasionally , taking up theatre (monologues) again after my retirement from the practice of law in 2015.
