The Parallel Project is a groundbreaking collection of monologues written by and for IBPOC (Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour) and racialized artists. Emerging from an innovative monologue-writing initiative, this vital resource brings together original commissioned works designed to reflect a diverse range of voices, lived experiences, and cultural perspectives.
Presented in versatile texts coined as "monologue clusters," each piece is fully customizable—allowing artists to tailor excerpts for optimal use in classes, auditions, and performances. Spanning themes such as identity, community, grief, queerness, language, immigration, family, and more, The Parallel Project is a lighthouse, forging a path for under-represented voices to take centre stage.
