Write Out Loud – an organization founded in 2007 with a commitment to inspire, challenge and entertain by reading literature aloud for a live audience – announces a three night run of "Mano A Monologue", written and performed by David Fenner and co-directed by Robert Alexander Owens and Write Out Loud Artistic Director, Veronica Murphy. The performances take place at the Dottie Studio Theater (Cygnet), part of the new Joan and Irwin Jacobs Performing Arts Center in Liberty Station. Presenting a selection of his greatest misses– whether by tough luck, naivete or plain bad judgement– San Diego native actor, David Fenner, returns to the stage with a collection of personal stories, one would normally prefer to forget. He seems to think that by re-creating these bad turns for the benefit of your amusement, they’ll take on some value after all. Maybe. But what if the reenactment of these failed routines, inappropriate auditions, embarrassing turns, and wrong-path choices amount to the greatest miss of all? What is he thinking? Either way, hit or miss for him, it will be an unforgettable evening of joy, laughter and more, for the audience.
