SoloLab – ON THE SPOT:

​

A challenge for three solo performers: A monologuist, a poet, and a clown

November 8th at 7:00pm

 

We’re taking 3 stellar solo performers from three different disciplines and challenging them to make something new On The Spot!

Come see the monologuist (Lucie Pohl), The Poet (Darian Dauchan), and The Clown (Mark Gindick) show off a bit of their best work. Then you, the audience, provide the suggestions that they must use to create a brand new piece, right then and there!

 

Witness the exciting creation of a new piece before your eyes! Watch these performers soar above the challenge, or crumble under the pressure. Either way it’s sure to be a fun night with three amazing performers and hosted by All For One favorite, Katie Northlich!
