TELEPHONE MAN

[airpezman]

I heard that "Telephone Man" won Emory in Prose/Poetry.

1. Who wrote "Telephone Man"?
2. What is it about?
3. How powerful is it?

:wink:

I actually preformed Telephone Man as a prose this year---- I love the piece.. It is by Chris Crutcher and can be presented as humerous or dramatic. I am in the Texas Forensics Association circuit and have won 4 of the 6 tournaments we have been to with this piece. People love it and I love to preform it--- I hope this helps!

I figure that i would say the peice is very powerful. The cutting that won emory i dont think could be done as a humorous peice, though there are funny parts. And by the way the guy who won emory took his piece this last weekend to nat. quals in di and won. But wont be doing it at nationals b/c he and his patner won duo so they will be in that event.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought prose was a supplementary event at nats.

He said that the guy went with it in DI.

This piece was in DI finals in 2002... Really strong piece.
