One of the trickiest formats to get ‘right’ in performance or on the page, the monologue reveals individual character in an immediate and intimate manner. Come experience the process from the creative and audience sides, as celebrated playwright and theater-maker Don Nguyen discusses the process of writing and shares examples of the form. A recipient of the New York Stage and Film Founder’s Award, Don is a multidisciplinary artist whose plays are intriguing and empathetic with a genuine sweetness.
