The playwrights lowers the age for this classic character and gives him a voice that 14 year old actors will recognize and appreciate. He's a prince but he talks like he's at a middle school dance. This would be a great first audition monologue.

This overburdened housewife speaks to you like you're one of her girlfriends, as if you're drinking wine with her. Many women, housewife or not, can relate to her and that joy of getting your way with relatives. A Christmas monologue that will fit right in with your December showcase, on Zoom or stage.

Lovely reminder for those who have broken with someone in a long-term relationship - that you can find better and find someone who will accept you for who you are.

This apocalyptic office comedy says so much about us right now during pandemic and, probably, beyond it. Speaks to our preservation in the face of tragedy (noble or absurd), the struggle for normalcy in hard times through routines and rituals and wellness-tips. Also, it must not go unnoticed that all the characters are women - so what is the play saying about women? A play with a lot of laughs and a lot in it for conversation after the show.

This is what many uncles/aunts fear - not being able to be a prankster or jokester on holidays - the very PURPOSE of being an uncle/aunt - without criticism from a nibling. This will provide some laughs for your Christmas short play festival.

An atmospheric monologue with music of bar and dance rooms that addresses its serious themes in a clever, comedic way through a series of dances.

Playwright expresses that difference between young men and women and their thoughts on love and marriage. How can we do better as a society and let women grow through their thirties without these social demands and expectations? You'll laugh at the beginning, maybe from recognition, but at the end -- a transformative, traumatic experience -- is anything but funny. This would be a great addition to your monologue festival for female voices.

Playwright has given us a picture of one of the worst kids ever. Is this believable? Yes, totally, give how accessible the internet is to children. You'll laugh but parents beside might not. An actor would have fun convincing us that this kid is a-hole.

Creepy, gets under your skin with its imagery of alien abduction, especially "falling in reverse". Taps into that frustration that people have about friends that push them away when they try to open up about traumatic experiences and, for some, who find empathy in online chat rooms. This would be a smart choice for your sci fi festival, especially ones on aliens.

Vovos creates intimate moments between speaker and listener. He doesn't rush it, slows it down so, word for word, we have a moment to share. Look forward to reading more monologues by Vovos.
