The Internet is amazing.  We all know that.  In one of my recent meanderings, I came across a series of 50 monologues commissioned by Center Stage in Baltimore, Maryland. Being a recent transplant, Kwame Kwei-Armah, along with his team, asked the question “Who are you America?”

I was happy to see that Greg Allen of the Neo-Futurists was selected as one of the 50 leading playwrights. His piece is a lovely dance through the connected, tangental consciousness of the American fabric.

I have since watched dozens of others. Some hit very well and resonate strongly, others seem to fall flat. Obviously, this project is not immune from subjectivity. Regardless, a very fascinating study in writing, directing, acting, filming, and editing.

I recommend the consumption. Here’s a link to another, titled “one evening on the #14 bus“. It was written by Christina Anderson and performed by Pascale Armand.

Who hasn’t ridden a bus and experienced a similar situation of desperation and disconnect?
