The Fresh Fruit Festival Presents LGBTQ Monologues On Film

The Fresh Fruit Festival, now in its 19th consecutive year, is presenting works in the following format for development in filmed virtual presentation: LGBTQ MONOLOGUES, curated by Rachel Kara Perez and artistic director, Dennis Corsi.

Works range from 4 to 8 minutes in performance length, and relate to the LGBTQ experience. Eight written monologues were chosen from more than 60 applicants, then later resubmitted as short videos for entry into the development program. All 8 semi-finalist videos will be hosted on a high-definition platform until November 2.
