Monologues

Absolutely loving my Monologue Class with Karen Kohlhaas. Practical Aesthetics makes it so much easier to break down the piece, rehearse and perform it. I will have four new monologues by the end of the session. Fresh material to present at auditions. Fantastic.

Luck of the Irish

I had the absolute best audition at the Irish Repertory Theatre. I wondered if waiting two and a half hours before going in was worth it. But it was. The theatre’s two founders welcomed me with humor and admiration. After I performed my monologue from Good People, Irish Rep founder Charlotte Moore said to me, “Phyllis, where have you been all this time?”

Clue

I had a great audition for Mrs. White in Clue (regional production in Hilton Head, SC). I mined the sides for comedic moments, coached with Amber Crawford (NY Actor Self Tapes), and delivered the goods.

Picketing

So proud to walk my first picket line outside Amazon on 32nd and 10th in support of the Writers. So inspiring to hear Liz Schuler of AFL-CIO speak.

Hey hey ho ho. Corporate greed has got to go.

Voicing Ginni

Nothing but fantastic being back in the booth at WGBH to voice Ginni Thomas for FRONTLINE’s episode: “Clarence and Ginni Thomas: Politics, Power, and the Supreme Court”. Working with director Mike Kirk was a joy.
