I produced a showcase of monologues. We called it “Erratic — a night of oddball monologues,” and somehow an audience appeared out of nowhere.
The performers were some of my favorite people. Vanessa Dinning did a piece by Dame Emma Thompson. Steve Oberman performed an excerpt from his new play. And Markuz Rodriguez and Romo gave us a scene from their very cute play “Ocurrr.” I got to play host, MC, and do an old Buddy Cole bit from my youth.
Escapism SD is the perfect space. It belongs to my good friend Tangerine (who has an amazing eye for set design) and it’s way up overlooking Fourth Street, so the view and the noise makes it feel like you’re in a real city.
Since Erratic was such a hit, we’re planning to make this a regularly recurring thing.
