Four Masonic Monologues: Brother Harry Truman, White Gloves, Outside The Door, Inside The Heart

These four fictional monologues look at different approaches to defining what makes a Mason. ""Brother Harry Truman"", the only potential dual character piece, looks at the timelessness of Masonry from the point of view of the former U. S. President. ""White Gloves"" compares the meaning of Lodge gloves to the gloves of the speaker's alcoholic fisherman father. ""Outside The Door"" is about how Masonry motivates one to step out of themselves to do difficult things. ""Inside The Heart"" looks at how a group of soldiers kept Masonry alive while stationed abroad. They can be performed for the public, but are also a perfect length for lodge meetings.
