This is the educational component. The monologues range from very funny to very graphic, to very moving. It can be an exceptionally engaging experience for audience members. During the course of the show perspectives are subject to change. There is a lot of unashamed laughter.
Someone sometimes faints during one of the more graphic monologues.
Rehearsals have been powerfully introspective as well as a bonding experience for the cast. We cried, we were so moved we had to take a break. During the rehearsal I visited, there was great laughter among the cast. They cajoled and teased each other. Their responses were quick, light and easy, and sometimes touching.
