"Was a lot of fun - I was startled
by the consistent quality and interest of the monologues.
Then, someone
let me know that you and your co-horts (company writers)
wrote most
of the material...
No wonder most of them actually had a dramatic
arc. You're very good."
Bob Ost
Executive Director

"Last night's Monologue Challenge
was the best one ever put on by the Actor's Project.
The level of
acting has greatly improved, the choice of materials excellent and
the length
of the evening was just right. All in all, a very impressive
evening.
Done the way it should be done. Congratulation to you,
Bobby Holder,
and the very talented actors of the Actor's Project."
