THE MANHATTAN MONOLOGUE SLAM
The long-running Manhattan Monologue Slam - part Masterpiece Theater, part American Idol - comes to 92YTribeca for a night of electrifying theater. Act One of the Slam features 8 pre-selected actors who perform 3-minute theatrical monologues (both dramatic and comedic), while Act Two features actors from the audience who have signed up on the spot to perform 30-second-long mini monologues. A panel of industry big-wigs then rates the performances and offers their feedback. Whether you want to show off your monologue skills, or just want to see NYC's best up-and-coming talent in action, the Manhattan Monologue Slam will redefine the way you see theater. www.92YTribeca.org/theater
