G.L.Horton's Stage Page

Four monologues, each with a ghost of sorts. Just the thing for use just prior to the holiday. The scripts for these, and other, monologues can be found at G.L.Horton's Stage Page (dot) Info. If you like the music, tell ChAiNs yourself. Let him know where you heard it.

Today Larry Stark, of The Theater Mirror, and Geralyn Horton, of Stage Page, discuss the local production of Claire Boothe Luce's snappy play, The Women, now showing at The Speakeasy Theater in Boston. They do not content themselves with the production, though ... that would be too limiting.

Another installment of Arts Salon, Boston, this bookended by readings by Robert Bonatto and Valerie Sodano. Today's guests in the Salon are Larry Stark of the Theater Mirror and Will Stackman.

Last week we had no time for monologues, this week we have three.

Jonathan Donahue, a Boston-based actor just cast as the lead in indie film "Revolution", reads a monologue from G.L.'s one-act Fantasia for String Trio. June Lewin, who spoke with us last week about the musical Martha Mitchell in Mostly Her Own Words is reading a flashback, and John M. Costa reads a monologue from the full length play Inquest.

The people who host our podcasts - PodOmatic.com - say we can now post our shows in the more sophisticated M4A format. With art-work intact. I have a few pictures of people who have been involved in the show and decided to introduce them here. My apologies if it doesn't work properly.

This week we have but one feature: a conversation between playwright Geralyn Horton - as the actress - and actress June Lewin - as the director - about the one-woman show playwright Rosanna Yamagiwa Alfaro wrote for them. Martha Mitchell, in Mostly Her Own Words is a musical and a history lesson. You can find out more about the show at

Martha.

Today we have two interpretations of the same monologue - both 'right' - and an old-fashioned discussion between three artist.

The monologues are by local actors John M. Costa and Penny Benson. If you would like to join them by adding your voice to our show, record any monologue found on www.StagePage.Info and send the MP3 to GLHorton (at) PodOmatic (dot) Com - we'll try to include it in a future show. Or you could join John at the Lyric Theater where he is appearing in 1776 through October 14th.

Today's show includes readings of two of G.L.'s monologues - one by Joe Benn, the other by local actress Valerie Sodano - and a discussion G.L. had with Larry Stark (of TheaterMirror.com fame) about Political Theater. We'd like to hear your takes on G.L.'s monologues - they can be found at www.StagePage.Info - and you can contact us at glhorton (at) PodOmatic (dot) Com. Larry would also appreciate your Quick Takes on any shows you've seen recently, send your short reviews to Larry (at) TheaterMirror (dot) Com. Thanks for listening.

This week we have two of G.L.'s monologues, the first chosen and read by Ohio actress Carol J. Shelton, titled "I Don't Support the Troops", the second read by local actress and theater student Valerie Sodano, titled "Eulogy". In between G.L. tells Larry Stark about her sojourn in Ohio.

If you would like to read G.L.'s monologues, go to www.StagePage.Info, and if you would like to record one for podcast, please email GLHorton (at) PodOmatic.com, possibly sending along your recording.

Today we have three (3!) of G.L.'s monologues - none of them read by ME - plus a guided tour of the Greater Boston Area Theater Scene by Larry Stark.

If you'd like to participate in our show, all you need do is choose a monologue from the hundreds on G.L.'s web site - www,StagePage.Info - and record it. Then e-mail the file to us at GLHorton (at) Podomatic.com and we will do our best to include it in a future show. Please include a few personal details and, perhaps, a small head shot with the reading.
