MMSlam Reality Wrap Around Video

The outfit was highly relevant to the monologue, I swear! Then we decided the tool belt with the drill and stuffed teddy bear was a tad too much.  When the Galinsky Brothers, Robert and Philip, the beneficent, wild and hiNRG hosts of the Manhattan Monologue Slam institution, asked me to perform a monologue at the upcoming Slam, I was honored. The Cynthia Smith monologue jumped out at me, and hand to heart I committed. Fully! It was a lot of fun rehearsing and finally performing the piece in front of real judges and an audience chock full of actors. Egad!!

That last bit definitely kept me on my toes. Made me wanna suck a bottle of Henessey, climb the Empire State Building and howl at the moon before stepping on stage. Plenty of Slam Alumni wandering around backstage and front of house that night. Usually I’m inclined to take a nap before a performance. Maybe I’m weird like that, but safe to say, that didn’t happen this time around!

It was awesome though, an experience I shall not soon forget. The atmosphere at MMSlam events are filled with such a gorgeous amount of love and energy you needn’t be an actor to feel included. You just come and give yourself over to the big wave of entertainment and enjoy the ride. Enjoy the Slammers! They only want to entertain you.

Next NYC Slam December 18.
