Soul Food Monologues with Forward Theater

In 2012, playwrights from across the country authored monologues focusing on engaging, embarrassing, hilarious, and heart-warming stories about food, and submitted them to Forward Theater Company's SOUL FOOD Monologue Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. A selection of these monologues will be performed in the intimate setting of the library. Afterwards, the actors will take questions from the audience about the monologues.

Book Discussion: Darius the Great is Not Okay by Adib Khorram

Darius doesn't think he'll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's about to take his first-ever trip to Iran, and it's pretty overwhelming--especially when he's also dealing with clinical depression, a disapproving dad, and a chronically anemic social life. In Iran, he gets to know his ailing but still formidable grandfather, his loving grandmother, and the rest of his mom's family for the first time. And he meets Sohrab, the boy next door who changes everything.
