Next Narrative™ Monologue Competition
Created by Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theatre Company of Atlanta, GA, the Next Narrative Monologue Competition gives students the opportunity to deliver powerful, contemporary monologues from modern Black playwrights including Robert O’Hara, Candrice Jones, Josh Wilder, James Tyler and more.
Milwaukee Rep is one of many regional cities participating and is offering free workshops in collaboration with First Stage, as well as select schools and organizations. At Milwaukee’s March 18 regional competition, two students will win cash prizes and the opportunity to represent Milwaukee on an all-expense-paid trip to New York City. Our regional winners will go on to compete at The Apollo Theatre in Harlem, for additional scholarships and prizes.
