San Miguel Playwrights and Art of the Story presents: Speaking Up, Speaking Out: The Passionate Voice.
We’re all about celebrating the power of the monologue — that pivotal moment in a story when a character just can’t hold back any longer and finally lets loose what’s been simmering inside.
Maybe it’s a raw, emotional confession that spills out when they least expect it, or maybe it’s a fiery rant that’s been building up for ages.
Either way, when a character speaks up or speaks out, it doesn’t just move the plot forward — it often flips their whole world upside down, exposing them to embarrassment, risk, or even danger.
Curious to hear what that sounds like? Come listen!
