Bell Road Barn Players would like to invite you all to be a part of our new series:

Monday Minute Monologues

Starting Mondays in June, at noon, and every Monday after, we will post original monologues with a common theme on our website and Facebook page. Here are our guidelines:

Writers—We will provide a theme each week so the monologues posted have a unifying arc. Please let us know if it is okay for the actor to contact you if they have questions. To keep this creativity train running smoothly, we ask that you specify the gender and age range of the character you’ve written, keep the words they say family friendly, and keep your monologue to right around a minute. Submit your monologue to mmm@bellroadbarn.org by midnight on the Monday before so we have time for the actor to prepare, which brings us to . . .

Actors—If you are interested in being a part of this series, please submit your contact information, resume, and a picture to mmm@bellroadbarn.org. You must have the ability to video call and record yourself. Whether you record yourself showing full body or head and shoulders, all we ask is you remember, Family Friendly. You will have several days to work on it. A director may video call with you for one session to ensure your performance is at your best. Please submit your videos to mmm@bellroadbarn.org by Fridays at midnight, so that we have time to review, assemble, and upload.

All questions can be emailed to mmm@bellroadbarn.org. Bell Road Barn Players reserves the right to ask for revisions or not post videos.

For our Premiere Posting of Monday Minute Monologues, the theme is . . .

Letting Go
Your due date is June 15 to submit your monologues.

For those of you experiencing deja vu, yes, this is what we had planned for our current season. Surprise!! Now, you won’t have to miss a single minute of our productions of Men on Boats, The Foreigner, or The Comedy of Errors.

We will keep a close eye on what our local guidelines, government and health officials, and Park University’s policy allow us to produce and schedule our 2020-2021 season accordingly.
