THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME


Once upon a time in a SOHO Theatre I morphed through the positions of stage manager, production manager, artist therapist, lighting designer, prop master and "reluctant a/c repairwoman" all while tucked neatly under my trusty Yankees ball cap.  During my tenure I helped stage approximately 700 one person shows. I got to hear all about drug, sex, food, shopping, and toe nail polish addictions.  I heard about: the 40 years olds still living with their parents; the "I'm going to be a better person because my grandfather took me fishing story"; the look how crazy my father was show; the I've got 7 personality's and let me show them to you; and my favorite "I am the messiah in a salad bowl" show.  I saw some really bad theatre, some good theatre and even a few great theatre pieces.  I saw some good actors who just wanted to entertain and some who just wanted fame. One might think this would cause burnout but it only caused slight dementia. I kept a journal and maniacally made fun of the "ranting monkey's". So, in tribute to my early days in a small SOHO theatre I decided to keep the name.  I loved working in downtown theatre and all it's eccentricities- there are some very creative and funny people out there-and I hope to bring that feeling along with me in Monkey Rant Productions.
