[Verse 1] Like a movie that you can quote almost every line Like a T-shirt that you have washed 'bout a hundred times [Pre-Chorus] I got used to your voice Like it was my own Now there's kind of a void I'm totally fine though [Chorus] This is the part where I Start losing my damn mind This house is way too quiet And I know the walls would never tell Lately I've been talking to myself What if I play pretend? You're holding me again We're laughing in my head But I know that there's nobody else And I've just been talking, talking to myself [Verse 2] I could replay all your voicemails, but it's not the same But at least then I could always hear you say my name [Pre-Chorus] I got used to your voice Like it was my own Now there's kind of a void I'm totally fine though [Chorus] This is the part where I Start losing my damn mind This house is way too quiet And I know the walls would never tell Lately I've been talking to myself What if I play pretend? You're holding me again We're laughing in my head But I know that there's nobody else And I've just been talking, talking to myself [Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Talking to myself Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Bridge] I made a list of all the things I couldn't tell you Do you miss me? Are you talking to yourself, too?
NOW YOUR TURN TO CREATE A THEATRICAL ADAPTATION : based on the lyrics, come up with two characters, a location, and five lines of dialogue. Be prepared to share your 5 line scene with the class.
AFTER SHARING SCENES: What was similar between the scenes? What was different? What was easy about the exercise? What was difficult?

BUT, if you find a monologue that you like is overdone, research other plays by that playwright and maybe there is another character in a lesser known play that would speak to you also. So that isn’t always a total dealbreaker!! Just a bit more research needed to find an alternative…
Critique must be of a show you have seen in the previous month OR Play Analysis on a FULL LENGTH SCRIPT or TWO ONE ACTS (those in Theatre 3 may want to do ONE ACTS as a way to make sure they have read a lot of One Acts for the Director’s Notebook Assignment in the Spring.)
