Benedick's monologue in Much Ado About Nothing. It's about how foolishly people behave when they're in love.

I escorted a couple dozen high school theatre students to Steel Pier a week or so before the Tony Awards that year. We ALL thought Steel Pier was superior to Titanic and were very disappointed to hear about it closing shortly after garnering zero awards from its 11 nominations.
The weird thing, however, is this: Standing in line for dinner at a jampacked restaurant after seeing Steel Pier, we talked to someone who claimed to be a friend of Monk's. She told us that the atmosphere back

There's a great comedic monologue about a tennis player who finds himself in Lanford Wilson's "Angels Fall."

I thought the black and white vs color aspects of the City of Angels set was interesting.

WAY back in the day, one of my elementary school friends said that you could tell if a new girl in class would make a good friend by asking her "Which Little Woman are you most like?" The idea was that everyone who said Jo had the same kind of values and would make great friends. Same with Meg, etc.
Then later, in college, someone suggested that you could test possible mates by asking, "If you could only take one CD with you to a desert island, which one would it be?" The idea was that

Rumors (Neil Simon) has a cast of 9 (5m,4f). Comedic murder mystery. One interior set.
A Thousand Clowns (Herb Gardner) has a cast of 6 (5m,1f on paper, but it can be cast 3m,3f). It's time for an uncle to grow up so that he can continue as the guardian of his nephew. One interior set.

A Chorus Line. When the actors who were asked to step forward were then summarily dismissed, I GOT IT! On SOOO many levels, I GOT IT! I had been teaching high school theatre for about five years when I first saw A Chorus Line, and that single moment, thankfully, changed EVERYTHING about how I approached young actors.
I'd never really cared much about acting in high school and college myself. I'd ALWAYS wanted to teach and direct. And though many of my friends CARED about acting, I nev

There's a great comedic monologue in a show called It Had to Be You by Joseph Bologne and Renee Taylor. It's about a stressed woman auditioning for a part. Appropriate.

After seeing LOST IN YONKERS with a few of my high school theatre students, we decided to wait at the stage door. Most of the cast came out in relatively short order and politely signed autographs for the croud. By the time Kevin Spacey (pre Usual Suspects) made his way out the stage door, everyone but my students had left. Seeing that they were adoring teenagers and aspiring actors, he stood and chatted with them about the importance of college and so forth for about 10 minutes and then rode

Was it Plato who said that there were only 8 story lines? Does anyone know? Are there any literary scholars who can name them? I've tried to research the statement several times and have always come up empty...
