Mouthful

Behind the Scenes: "I want kids to get this message..."

Episode Summary

Season Three is here, and we're kicking things off with two behind-the-scenes episodes. In this episode, we take a peek behind the curtain to learn what goes in to selecting the winning monologues. From 661 to 18–it's quite a task.

Episode Notes

For Season Three of Mouthful, we'll be talking to ten student playwrights who are bringing their monologues to life for the 2019 Mouthful Monologue Festival.

In this episode, we take a peek behind the curtain to see how a selection committee chooses the 18 winning monologues from more than 660 submissions.

On the next episode, we meet the writers. With just two weeks until the performance run, they are working hard to perfect their monologues for audiences. Their monologues will become the centerpiece of our third season conversations on the podcast.

RESERVE YOUR TICKETS! If you're in the Philly area, you can catch all 18 monologues at a performance February 28-March 9 at the Louis Bluver Theater at the Drake. All performances are Pay What You Decide.
