Abstract:
"This thesis chronicles the process of constructing and performing a semi-autobiographical
devised solo piece utilizing verbatim theatre methodologies. Though that process included
producing duties, such as procurement of a venue, meetings about marketing, etc., this thesis
deals exclusively with the often messy process of devising a piece that is an amalgam of written
and verbatim components, from concept to interview, through the rehearsal process and
rewrites, and culminates in the feelings regarding the performance and further necessary work.
Furthermore, it cites the provenance of verbatim theatre in the United States, and references
two major contributors to the genre."
