Mr. Sendek Perry High School
Perry, GA Grades 9-12

Imagine standing in a spotlight on a dark stage, the director stares blankly from the dark seating of the theatre, but you don't have anything to say...I need a monologue! I teach theatre arts to 9th through 12th grade students in a rural center Georgia high school. For many of these students, this is their first exposure to the performing arts.

Students simply cannot afford to purchase monologue collections of their own. The generous donation of these supplies will open the audition doors to students who in the past have not auditioned.

The addition of various monologue collections, original monologue writing guides, and monologue delivery methods will encourage students to audition for theatrical productions and become more involved in the arts.

Your help will ensure that my students have the tools they need to present an effective audition monologue for both class assignments as well as productions. I have seen so often that students who become involved in the arts succeed not only in the theatre, but in secondary and post-secondary courses. How often have you heard students say, "I hate getting up in front of people."? Experience on stage and auditioning changes that statement to "May I present first?"!
