The Life
Monologue project (LMP) began in 2000 as the brainchild of writer/actor, Pamela Thompson after the death of her husband from
colon cancer. Seeking a vehicle where she and others could share fears, frustrations and triumphs in a creative way,
Pamela began conducting workshops where non-writers and writers gathered together to reflect upon and make sense of their
experiences with cancer, HIV/AIDS, discrimination, the impact of pets on people's lives, physical disabilities, living and
dying and other life challenges which can deliver great joy and great isolation.
These monologues culminate in
public performances attended by caregivers, loved ones and members of the community.
Currently LMP is
actively offering this artistic approach to a variety of socially significant issues.
