Monologues are one of the greatest challenges an actor faces. Whether in a play or an audition, many actors feel stuck, like they’re forcing something or trapped in their own heads. In this lab, we will workshop classic and contemporary monologues together in a warm and supportive environment. Find new ways to make text active, connect to the person you’re talking to, and build confidence in your work as an actor. This class is led by theatre director Benita de Wit (they/them), a freelance director who has worked at theatres including Clubbed Thumb, The Playwrights Realm, Oklahoma City Rep and A.R.T. As Associate/Resident Director, they worked on Jamie Lloyd’s Sunset Blvd. on Broadway starring Nicole Scherzinger, SIX on Broadway, and Straight Line Crazy at The Shed starring Ralph Fiennes. Benita currently teaches acting at Circle in the Square Theatre School and holds an MFA in Directing from Columbia University.
