Soul Food Monologues with Forward Theater Company

Forward Theater Company has been performing monologues in the libraries since 2010, and audiences continue to ask for more!

Every other year, Forward puts out a call for original monologues based on a common theme. The best twelve are chosen and performed by professional actors in a weekend of shows at Overture Center. And those same actors (and monologues) are available to perform at your library.
