On October 18, 2011, we participated in a fundraiser for Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center. I wrote a three minute monologue that depicted a spirit of Felix Mendelssohn. Jesse portrayed Felix.
I enjoyed this gig. I love the music and story of Felix Mendelssohn. It was thrilling to write a character that was so elegant and direct. Likewise, it was thrilling to write for an audience that was also elegant and direct.
I'm looking forward to the next gig. In the past year, I have written historical fiction monologues about Igor Stravinsky, Robert Hall Tinker and Felix Mendelssohn. I feel like I could write these monologues and plays forever. Bringing these characters to life is a fun, intelligent way to teach adults and children about relevant historical figures. It is also an intelligent and entertaining way to enliven any fundraising event.
