    NFA Playshop performs a virtual 'Monologue Show'

    Members of NFA Playshop present "The Monologue Show." (Submitted)

    Norwich Free Academy students who are part of NFA Playshop have filmed "The Monologue Show," and the result will be available Nov. 20-22.

    In a comic tale of art imitating life, "The Monologue Show" involves a theater class preparing to perform a series of true-life monologues, only to scramble and improvise when things don't go as planned.

    Twenty-nine NFA students are taking part in the production, portraying roles as varied as a teen couple in the midst of an on-air breakup, a human cannonball, a Star Wars fan fiction writer, an intense spelling bee champion and a boy obsessed with cats. This show takes place over a Google Meet-type call. Students were separately filmed in NFA's own television studio, overcoming the limitations of this socially distanced year.

    "The Monologue Show" is now available for pre-order at http://nfafoundation.org/supportplayshop. A minimum donation of $10 gives a household full-day access to watch as many times as they want.

    Questions can be directed to Philip Trostler at trostlerp@nfaschool.org.
