Kathy Daniels and Camille Clarke have something to say about love.

They are both performing in Famous Movie Monologues of Love and Lust, which will show at Eagle Eye Theatre Feb. 12 at 8 p.m.

Clarke is performing a monologue from Adaptation, speaking as Susan Orlean.

"I love that character, I love Charlie Kaufman movies," Clarke said.

"It's about wanting to want something, it's about a desire for passion."

Her favourite line from the monologue is "the reason it matters to care passionately about something is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size."

Kathy Daniels is doing a monologue from Bull Durham, a 1988 baseball film starring Kevin Costner and Susan Sarandon (Annie Savoy).

Daniels is doing the opening monologue from the film, speaking as Sarandon's character Annie Savoy.

"It's all about her and her belief in the church of baseball," Daniels said. "I love her, I think she's a wonderful spirit."

Daniels, Clarke and others doing monologues are working with Susanna Uchatius, a Vancouver-based professional actor, director and teacher, in preparation for their performance.

"It's been fantastic," Clarke said. "She's amazing. She can bring so much out of you."

Daniels agreed. "She pushes you to the very limits."

Clarke recently appeared on the stage in Squamish in Dracula: the Panto and in last spring's production The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. Daniels directed Dracula and co-starred with Clarke in Gamma Rays.

Famous Movie Monologues is a Between Shifts Theatre and Short Skirt Theatre joint production. The Whistler Arts Council provided the funds to hire Uchatius.

The cast also includes Whistler's Michele Bush, Kelly Clarke, Heather Clifford, Ben Groulx, Aimee Larivee, Cheryl Massey, Angie Nolan, Heather Paul, Julie Ann Rigby, Lonnie Wake and Pemberton's Sara Douglas and Susan Hutchinson.

Tickets are $10 and are available at Billie's Bouquet.

There will also be a performance at Millennium Place in Whistler on Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. For tickets call 604-935-8410.
