We wanted to create a space for performers to perform anything they really want to regardless of gender, age, or genre.
Whether there be a monologue or scene from a work that you really want to perform, a story you want to tell, a piece from something you’ve written you’d like to showcase, or something new entirely you want to create to share, we wanted to give people the space to do any of those things.
Performing things that speak to us and expressing things to others is incredibly cathartic for audience and performer. However, often the only spaces we have to perform the smaller scenes we want are at auditions, workshops, or self-produced events; and even then are confined to the gender, age, and genre we’re working with - let’s change that.
-
At this time - anything! Whether there be a monologue or scene from a work that you really want to perform, a story you want to tell, a piece from something you’ve written you’d like to showcase, or something new entirely you want to create to share, all that we ask is that you come prepared to do so!
Previous performances include:
Original work
Monologues and scenes from existing works
Character moments from existing works
Reality TV confessionals
Iconic viral moments
Performers are encouraged to select a monologue or scene regardless of gender, age, or genre.
If you’re still wondering about what you’d like to perform, please contact admin@wigbtheater.org - we’re happy to field curiosities!
