Manhattan Monologue Slam is a live rock/pop program now running at Baker Falls, built around performance-driven storytelling and short-form monologue structure. Featured performers Annabelle Dinda and Scott McCloud move between spoken narrative and song, treating the stage like a small newsroom of voices and confessionals. There’s no documented NYC premiere history widely associated with this edition, but the format fits a city where nightlife and literature often share the same room. The most interesting tension is how rock arrangement can sharpen, rather than soften, the words.
