The JC slam opens its curtains to present "THE MONOLOGUE SLAM." Brush off those accents, take out that poem that always sounded more like a story anyway and get your character on for this original monologue challenge. We welcome any non-original monologues as special additions to our pre-show regularly scheduled open mic. Surprise guest judges will be scoring the competitors and our very own Scripted will be gracing us with his ...hosting presence. Doors open at 8 p.m. and sign-up is first come, first perform.
Want to Watch?
You've made an excellent choice. You will be experiencing live performance in a whole new light and it's only a measly $5!
Itching to open mic?
Way to share your gift! We'll be having a mixed open mic before the competition begins. We welcome all of the usual spoken word/music/comedy and urge all the actors in the group to bring out three-minute non-original monologues!
Ready to perform your own monologue?
Awesome! Your time limit is 5 minutes with a 30-second grace period where points will not be deducted. Memorization is encouraged, but not mandatory, and you want to come with two different monologues ready to go. The first round is with 6 competitors and the top 3 will advance to see who gets the gold through bronze.
Fasten your seat belt, it's going to be a bumpy and glorious ride!
There will be a brief open mic before the slam. All are welcome-- poets, musicians, comedians, sword swallowers, you name it!
Cover $5 / $3 Students
**Please bear in mind this is a FUNDRAISING SLAM. All proceeds go towards sending our 2011 representative team to the National Poetry Slam in Boston, Ma this August!**
