HATG Theater Company presents their exciting monthly event, the Starving Artists' Monologue Slam at Fergie's Pub. This event allows local actors and actresses to perform in a welcoming environment and also gives them a chance to win money. The actors get to perform their monologues in front of local theater professionals and get instant feedback while networking in Philadelphia's emerging theater community.

Past judges for the monologue slam have been, Bill Felty: casting director for the Wilma Theater, Jane Stojack: founding and managing director for the Triangle Theater, Donna Snow: acting head for Temple University's MFA program, Aileen McCulloch: Executive Director for Vagabond Acting Troupe, Madi Distefano: Artistic Director for Brat Productions and Alex Dilks Pandola: Artistic Director for Green Light Productions

Executive Director for Vagabond Acting Troupe, Aileen McCulloch wrote "I highly recommend this. It is a great way to pull out your grade A stuff and actually get some quick response from it!"

The Starving Artists' Monologue Slam also gives the audience an opportunity to have a behind the scenes look into actors at their best: performing their monologues that are normally only seen at an audition behind closed doors. A monologue slam for actors is the same as a jam session for musicians.

Monologue Slam participant, Amy Lewis from our January slam said she "will take with me fond memories of the night when actors just got together to have fun! Thanks."

There are three ways to get involved in the next slam!
