Book Synopsis Women in the Wings by : Jacqueline Sharer Robertson
Download or read book Women in the Wings written by Jacqueline Sharer Robertson and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solidly rooted in the biblical story, gifted with creative imagination, and acutely aware of issues faced by people today, Pastor Jacqueline Sharer Robertson brings women of the Bible to life in ways that strengthen our relationships with God and one another. These sermons will inspire preachers to greater creativity and imagination. George G. Carlson Bishop, South-Central Synod of Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Turn ordinary sermons into memorable occasions with this set of 20 dramatic monologues that can be used by female pastors, lay speakers, or other worship leaders. Women In The Wings highlights the role of women in the Christian story, as scripture passages are brought to life and interpreted by the women who were there. Each monologue tells the story of a biblical character, or of someone who might have witnessed the biblical narrative unfold. Women In The Wings provides a user-friendly approach to communicating the gospel through drama -- each thought-provoking monologue comes with theological reflections ("Making It Preach") plus staging instructions and performance tips ("Making It Play") that makes it accessible for anyone. And this material isn't just for use in worship -- it's also great for women's retreats or as discussion starters for Bible study. If you let the women in these monologues share the pulpit with you, together you'll preach the Word in fresh and meaningful ways. Robertson brings together her experience as an actor with her years as a pastor to create narratives which ring true to life. Sophisticated understandings of scripture, theology, and human nature are expressed in simple, natural language. At the same time, careful and critical attention to the biblical text and engaging communication of the gospel give these monologues integrity. Ruth Duck Professor of Worship Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary Jacqueline Sharer Robertson is the pastor of Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. She previously served congregations in Illinois and Wisconsin, and has also been a writer, performer, and community organizer. Robertson holds degrees from Illinois Wesleyan University (B.F.A. in musical theatre) and Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary (M.Div.).

Book excerpt: The debut novel from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Interestings and The Female Persuasion, a story of three college students’ shared fascination with poetry and death, and how one of them must face difficult truths in order to leave her obsession behind. Published when she was only twenty-three and written while she was a student at Brown, Sleepwalking marks the beginning of Meg Wolitzer’s acclaimed career. Filled with her usual wisdom, compassion and insight, Sleepwalking tells the story of the three notorious “death girls,” so called on the Swarthmore campus because they dress in black and are each absorbed in the work and suicide of a different poet: Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton, and Wolitzer’s creation Lucy Asher, a gifted writer who drowned herself at twenty-four. At night the death girls gather in a candlelit room to read their heroines’ work aloud. But an affair with Julian, an upperclassman, pushes sensitive , struggling Claire Danziger—she of the Lucy Asher obsession-–to consider to what degree her “death girl” identity is really who she is. As she grapples with her feelings for Julian, her own understanding of herself and her past begins to shift uncomfortably and even disturbingly. Finally, Claire takes drastic measures to confront the facts about herself that she has been avoiding for years.

Book excerpt: "Once again, we have arrived at our favorite topic: fraught female friendship. This time it's young women working nights at crappy jobs in 90s London. You'll rip through this, reading through the night, as fixated on the story as Ladner's characters are fixated on each other." —Glamour A riveting debut novel of complex female friendship and obsession, following one young woman’s decision to abandon her normal life and join the otherworldly, nocturnal existence of London’s nightshift workers. RECOMMENDED BY GLAMOUR * NYLON * BUSTLE * THE MILLIONS * LIT HUB * DEBUTIFUL * CRIMEREADS When twenty-three-year-old Meggie meets her distant and enigmatic new coworker Sabine, she recognizes in her the person she would like to be. Meggie is immediately drawn to worldly, beautiful, and uninhibited Sabine; and when Sabine announces she’s switching to the nightshift, Meggie impulsively decides to follow her. Giving up her daytime existence, her reliable boyfriend, and the trappings of a normal life, Meggie finds a liberating sense of freedom as she indulges her growing preoccupation with Sabine and plunges into another existence, immersing herself in the transient and uncertain world of the nightshift worker. While the city sleeps, she passes the hours at work clipping crime stories from the next day’s newspapers. The liminal hours between night and day are spent haunting deserted bars and nightclubs with her eclectic coworkers and going on increasingly wild adventures with Sabine. Yet the closer she gets to Sabine, the more Sabine seems to push her away, leaving Meggie desperately trying to hold on to their intense friendship while doubting if she truly knows her friend at all. A fresh twist on the coming of age story and a dark love letter to city life, Nightshift explores the thin line between self-invention and self-destruction, as Meggie’s sleep deprivation, drinking, and fixation with Sabine gain a momentum all their own. Vividly set in late-nineties London and framed by Meggie’s present-day reflections, Nightshift is a captivating and moving debut that asks profound questions about who we are and if we can truly escape ourselves.
Book Synopsis 100 More Short and Effective Monologues by : Dave Kilgore
Download or read book 100 More Short and Effective Monologues written by Dave Kilgore and published by . This book was released on 2019-08 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book are 100 one-minute, original, contemporary monologues for adult men and women, with a mixture of dramatic, comedic, romantic, and reflective pieces, in no certain order.There are no setups for any of these monologues-no genders, no age ranges, no locations, and no backstories. This leaves them wide open for the actor to develop and move each character and scene in most any direction the actor chooses.Most of these monologues are subtle, not requiring grandiose physical performances, because delivering natural, believable, conversational dialogue in front of a stationary camera is usually all that's required to showcase an actor's true ability. Often, less is more.Q: Why perform original, unfamiliar monologues?Excerpt: Though something from A Few Good Men sounds like a great challenge, you don't want those people behind the camera at your audition comparing you to Jack Nicholson, or for that matter, to anyone else they've heard the same monologue from a hundred times. You don't want them harkening back to another actor's performance, you want them focused on you. Also, choosing monologues you've already seen and heard performed by other actors can easily lead you to mimic them rather than develop your own character and delivery for the piece. Remember, this is all about you and what you can bring to the scene.Q: Will I need to explain the scene to my audience?Excerpt: The monologues in this book are all original pieces, written as standalones, not requiring the observer to have any backstory explained to them in order to understand what the character is trying to convey in the scene.Q: Why are these monologues only one minute?Excerpt: One-minute monologues allow the actor to get in, show what they can do, and get out, making them perfect for auditions and classroom study. Always leave them wanting more.Q: Why do I need so many monologues?Excerpt: You're not always going to be auditioning, but it never hurts to keep your chops up. The best recipe for success is to continue honing your craft. Practice, practice, practice.Dave Kilgore is a longtime actor, pianist, composer, playwright, and author. He has written multiple books of monologues, scenes, flash fiction, and a novel.Published by Scribernaut Press, LLC.
