Talk about a tough room. Bonnie Green and I did a private, mini version of the MENding Monologues for Academy-Award Winning Actor Alan Arkin and his wife Suzanne. To add a little pressure to the evening, one of other people in the room was Bonnie’s high school drama teacher, Bob Johnson.
Bonnie did “Dr. Doris Vaginski” and “Path To Worthiness”, while I performed “Tantra.”
Alan gave us both great notes on our pieces on what to improve. After all, Bonnie I have been self directed for the past year and half, so getting a little coaching can’t hurt. So, what was the verdict? Mr. Arkin said he liked the pieces and told us this was important and brave work.
I’ll take that.
