In these debut productions of Tennessee Playwrights Studio, actors and dancers imagine the women in the orbit of JFK during his life and presidency. The Monologue Show gives voice to women of and in the shadows of Camelot, who were involved with (or rumored to be involved with) the notorious womanizer. The actors researched these historical figures and penned the monologues themselves, and the cast features Jennifer Whitcomb-Oliva (playing Marilyn Monroe and sure to be a delight), Mary McCallum, Alicia Haymer and many more. Stephanie Houghton directs. The Monologue Show has been adapted as The Dance Show, featuring more than a dozen performers and original choreography from 10 artists. Molly Breen directs (and produces, dances and performs a monologue). If they pull all this off, it just might be brilliant. Visit tnplaywrights.org for showtimes.
