←Recommendations of Being Wendy Wasserstein - A monologue

With humor and authenticity, "Being Wendy Wasserstein" delves into themes of identity, feminism, and the evolving role of women in society, offering a poignant reflection on the challenges and triumphs of educated women in the 20th century. ​ Perfect for theatrical performances or educational settings, this piece is both entertaining and thought-provoking, celebrating the legacy of a remarkable artist.

The voice of Wendy Wasserstein comes shining through in Ms. Curry's beautiful tribute to the playwright. Ms. Wasserstein's untimely death at age 55 was a great loss for the theater. She knew that the theater needed stronger representation of women on the stage and boy, did she deliver. Having seen three of her plays in NY, I appreciated the humor and social significance of her work. Well done!

Oh, how I wish I knew what Wendy Wasserstein would have been writing today! Thankfully, we have Karen Fix Curry's Being Wendy Wasserstein, to still hear her humorous, insightful voice as she looks at her life. This monologue which is filled with the 'meat and potatoes' of playwrights' lives inspires us again to do the kind of work she was doing: listening, discovering... Curry captures her well and this would be a great monologue for any actress.

I could hear Wendy Wasserstein herself in this incredible monologue about her journey as a playwright in the 70's and beyond. Her characters and stories are so important and ring true to this day. A great monologue for 50+ women.

Wonderfully captures the spirit of Wasserstein and her writing, but it's also a remarkable inspirational piece for anyone to read or perform.

This monologue is full of all of the honest soul searching, humor and chutzpah that belonged to the fabulous Wendy Wasserstein. As Curry so eloquently states, she did create characters that sounded like us. And when I heard Wendy's characters speak, I too decided to write a play. This can be a great introduction of her life and work to a new generation.

Young playwrights or emerging playwrights of any age should read this stellar monologue about the life journey of Wendy Wasserstein, a singular American playwright. It reminds us to not only look to our American masters of playwriting, and learn about their approach to craft and characters of identity, but look inward and capture through our plays what is special about our own American identity and also our friends through our characters. And be bold, write about political ideas, let our stories explore ideologies. A smart choice for any festival celebrating women of American history.

A very solid monologue, that really captures Wendy's character and her journey well.

I love Wasserstein and her courage to speak authentically, to tell her truth, and that is captured so brilliantly in this monologue. This is beautiful and I think everybody should read it.

I wanted to act in every play Wasserstein wrote. She spoke to me and for me. Karen Fix Curry captures the essence of this amazing playwright. The ending - where Wasserstein mentions not wanting to be political - but writing her characters is political - is a truth. Beautiful, honest and moving, it made me miss acting. And miss Wasserstein even more.
