🎭About Talking With… 🎭
These extraordinary monologues received a standing ovation at Louisville’s Actors Theatre. The play is composed of eleven ten-minute monologues, each featuring a different woman who talks about her life. They include a baton twirler, a fundamentalist snake handler, an ex rodeo rider and an actress willing to go to any length to get a job.
★ Fifteen Minutes: a struggling actress in a road company gets ready to go onstage
★ Scraps: dressed as the The Patchwork Girl of Oz, a very bored housewife lives more and more in her imaginary world
★ Clear Glass Marbles: she tells the story of how her mother prepared for her coming death
★ Audition: a very nervous actress, with her cat in tow, has a disastrous audition for a role
★ Rodeo: a cowgirl talks about how rodeos have become commercial ventures, like everything else in the country
★ Twirler: a baton twirler speaks ecstatically about how twirling brings her close to God
★ Lamps: a woman finds amazement and comfort in light as she grows older
★ Handler: a woman from an evangelical sect handles deadly snakes to test her faith
★ Dragons: she is in labor, and is about to give birth to a dragon
French Fries: she is a homeless woman, what used to be called a ★ Bag Lady, who wants to live in a McDonald’s
★ Marks: a woman in a bar talks about why she began to cover her body with tattoos
