Solo performance is a unique experience for both the actor and the playwright. For the actor, it can be a very vulnerable experience. They take the stage alone and must singularly engage an audience. For the playwright, the difficulty is in creating a fully realized, rich narrative within the confines of monologue. The intent of this theatrical undertaking is to celebrate the unique challenges actors and writers face when creating solo works.
Eleven original, previously unseen pieces will be presented with their only theme being that they are monologues. Please note that the actors and playwrights are local to Tucson or have a connection to the city.
Additionally, the producers of Flying Solo are honored to have Betsy Kruse Craig directing as she brings more than three decades of performing arts experience to this project with an enthusiastic desire to cultivate local theater.
