Dramatic Need is a charity dedicated to using the creative arts to help children address trauma and development issues.
Then, how those trainers ultimately, as status symbol led to his demise as well.
It is quite an affecting and sad story in the end.
Danny Boyle is directing this entire event.
Hes not only good at it, but he invests in it.
If he had more time with us hed be directing us a ton more.
The fact is, hes got to get through I dont know how many performers really in a day.
So you dont get that much time with Danny, to be honest with you.
Use your film celebrity to do something good of course, thats a good thing.
So it feels like even more of a no-brainer to lend our time and a small amount of effort.
And of course, youre talking about people for whom its very hard to be heard.
An organization like Dramatic Need helps people find that platform in their own neighborhood, in their own country.
By doing events like this we can take that platform and we can broaden that horizon.
We can make that platform larger and we can reach a different kind of audience.
Why is it important that were heard?
Because its part of the healing process.
When you relate your tragedies and your traumas, youre human.
Because it helps us articulate how we feel.
Thats why I think its important anyway.
Why is it important for audiences to sit and listen to these amazing pieces of writing?
Because its part of the human experience to share and empathize.
The Childrens Monologueswill be performed one night only at Carnegie Hall on Monday, Nov. 13.
Ticketsstart at $100.
