DOING THE MATH premiered at The Secret Rose Theatre in Los Angeles as a selection in the MonoSlam Competition on January 29th, 2012. It was performed by KC Wright - who had only received the monologue two days earlier when another actor dropped out.
She performed beautifully, garnering much praise. The monologue won first prize in an audience vote.
The monologue - essentially a 5 minute one woman play for a teenager - takes place when a teenager who is on the spectrum discovers through her mother's diary that her father may not actually be her father.
Doing the Math had its UK premiere performed by Darren Forster, at The Big GIG Dig at the Ludlow Brewery, in Ludlow, UK and at the Darwin Community Center in Shropshire as part of World Autism Awareness Day, in a fundraiser for Autonomy - a support group for people with Asperger's Syndrome. Please support them, if you can!
