The best Internet writing establishes a defined relationship between the writer and the reader… And over the course of an hour or so, Blogologues does the same thing between the actors and the audience — with the added challenge of breathing life into words intended to be read on a screen. The five charming actors who make up the cast each take on roles as monologists, Greek chorus members, stage pieces and any other role informed by the pieces adapted… [A]nd each is performed with gusto and respect that attempts to stay true to the original.

Blogologues is one of those shows where, no matter if you would rather seek out indie theater or troll Reddit, you will find at least one piece that speaks to you. The cast is just as smart and talented as the bloggers who create this content, and together they make a truly unique piece of interactive theater.
