    Learned something new, ventriloquists are called vents, by people in the know. Benjy learns not to move his lips while in training -- until he gets kissed by a girl in the carnival. Then he goes full tilt boogie with her. Young love, memorable and unique. Arianna is always good with words.

    There's nothing like the first love and this is such a great monologue that puts love front and center and we are drawn into Benjy's sweet memory and feel that kiss as if we were experiencing it along with him.
