Harrie Mulé’s monologue workshop is a must attend for those wanting to polish their writing and performing skills or who are starting out in the field. Participants feel Harrie’s support by her encouraging words to expand on their topics in the written word. Her professional acting and coaching skills shine through as she listens attentively to participants stories and encourages them to dig deeper of their motives for choosing such stories. The process makes them give serious thought to why they chose a certain topic. Harrie’s commitment to providing a review of each session and positive feedback strengthens her lessons. Her knowledge of the monologue writing and performing process teaches the attendees how to write better scenes and to overcome the fear of performing in a safe environment. She teaches attendees to observe their surroundings, “what do you remember about the place”, “how did it make you feel”, to improve their writing and acting skills. I would encourage anyone who is considering acting or writing to attend this workshop. It is a jewel of a workshop that the library offers.
