Jim Chevallier's Web Site

Contact


Chez Jim is Jim Chevallier's Web site. If it is difficult to define, well so, say some, is Jim.

The two largest groups of visitors to this site typically come for the free original monologues and the film finance information. Some are also drawn by bits of information on figures such as Tim Leary, the Beatniks and Louise Nevelson. But since its earliest incarnation in 1996, the site has also included genealogy information, looks at Paris and samples of fiction and poetry. In subsequent years, it has grown to reflect new interests, including self-publication of several books, further travel (cross-country, up to Northern California and to Saigon, among other places) and the 18th century in France (including information on the Bastille and a number of 18th century recipes).

NOTE: Many of the page formats reflect the changes in the site over the years, and its generally eclectic nature. To thine own selves be true...

Have you received SPAM from chezjim.com? It was NOT sent from this site. Unfortunately, forging a domain is easy, and, so far as I know, impossible to prevent. Sorry...

THE MONOLOGUE OF THE WEEK
This week's monologue is Text Two To Tango.
Last week's monologue was The Light and the Air.



Each week a new monologue will be posted as the Monologue of the Week, chosen from two series with very different themes [NOTE: One of these has ended, and a new one begun]. These are works in progress - early, though not quite first, drafts - and so comments are welcomed. At some point, a few may be added to those normally available on the Monologues page. But most will give way over time to others, and will no longer be available here. You are welcome to use them, meanwhile, in the usual ways: for class, practice, performance*, etc., bearing in mind that these are not (for the most part) final versions.

NOTE: While age, gender, etc. may be obvious in some of these, no such indication will be offered at this point. If a slight modification will make a given monologue more appropriate for your type, feel free to make it.

*Of individual monologues, that is; using groups of them is subject to conditions.

UPDATE: If sufficient interest exists, one out of every ten of these will now be added to those on the site. If you have one you'd like to see available, use the form on the page to name your choice.
