The Well of Miriam (monologue - 2 versions)
Character Information
This monologue was originally written to be performed by actor Jordan Kisner. I've included the version of it that she performed for The 24 Hour Plays Viral Monologues, as well as a slightly different revised version where the character of Miriam is written true to the age she would have been at the parting of the Red Sea. Either version is equally acceptable to perform depending on the age of the actor!
