    In this powerful monologue, cosplayer Valerie issues a clarion call that goes well beyond the imagined convention attendees. It is a call to all girls and women to stand together and fight back. And to all boys and men to grow up. I imagine the call and response between Valerie and the audience would be an overwhelming moment. Terrific!

    As a cosplayer who is vigilant about consent at conventions, this monologue hits home on so many important points and issues while also being a fantastic opportunity for an actor AND for a costume designer. Really great, powerful stuff.

    A magnificent statement about female objectification and consent with a lack of action to protect women. Well done.
