Have you ever met your idol? Do you imagine what it would be like to meet a living legend?
We are looking for budding playwrights of the future (aged 14 – 25) to write a monologue about their ultimate ‘FAN’ experience or moment. It could be a celebrity moment like meeting your favourite singer or footballer. It might be a moment with a political figure you admire or someone that is an expert in a hobby you have like a skateboarder or chef. Your monologue needs to capture your thoughts and feelings of this ‘fandom’ moment. It can be based on a real life experience or an imagined event.
Prize:
If your monologue is selected you will win 2 tickets to the FANCLUB Convention Night on Wednesday 24th July at 7:30pm.
Monologue Tips:
-A monologue is dialogue written to be performed by one actor – usually in the form of direct address to the audience.
