Monologue: "Dollbaby"
Words from Paula Johnson
(Transcribed by J. J. Johnson)
Judges: Fatima Quander, Dawn Ursula and Psalmayene 24
Judges' comments for Farrar include:
"Believable emotional connection to the material. Naturally tapped into the humor of the story. Organic and easy transitions between ideas in the monologue. Her performance brought you into the wonder of grandma's house."
"Quite nice. She brought a youthfulness to the piece that was quite engaging to watch."
"If I didn't know you wrote it, J.J., Tracey could have convinced me that she did. That's how easy and natural her delivery was. . . Tracey seemed to really connect to it. She also had a lovely nuance of wistfulness, the faded ache that comes with good memories. That was really lovely and could have been left out. I'm glad she didn't. Also, great quality in setup and lighting, it makes a difference to allow the artist and their work to standout."
