A beautiful poem of a monologue that is open to interpretation by designers.

An active monologue delivered to a child by a young mother. Playful in tone, an auditioning actor will have fun with this. I can see this being physical, maybe delivered on the floor.

You may dislike how this character goes about it, over the top, extreme, but admit it - you want to have the courage to express yourself so wholeheartedly and honest like this character. This would be a lot of fun for an audience at your December showcase.

My favorite stoner monologue. Read this and you'll feel like you're stoned, in a haze. Surprisingly this comedy ends in a tender place. Your audience will be howling with laughter.

Powerful in how it makes you think about the weight of the past on our memory and our future children. Makes you think about all those other traumatic episodes in American history...that we carry in our DNA. A necessary addition to your production of 9/11 anniversary monologues.

Frank captures perfectly that monologue of feeling less than others, feeling like you deserve less, feeling like an imposter. It feels like an internal monologue - one that you tell yourself - in observation of city scenes like on transit. This would be a smart choice for any festival on modern monologues on city life or a LGBTQ festival.

An inventive monologue unlike anything you've read before. Open to interpretation for production, Krane's monologue would be a fun-ride for everyone involved. Reminds me a bit of Georges Perec.

The long stare at the audience at the end of the play. Playwrights will LMAO.

An endearing moment between father and daughter that earns its sweetness while dealing with a tough topic - mourning and grief loved one. Intense, intimate, FRANCE IS BACON is a play that you will want to schedule for any festival on family issues.

An unexpected character for a monologue -- a dog trainer for Hollywood. With a lot of heart and a lot of humor, Gallant captures a unique relationship between animal and human that we haven't seen on stage before (or read on the page). We get a window into the world of Hollywood's use of dog actors and a beautiful adoption story.

Line by line, beat by beat, tactic by tactic, Gallant knows how to structure her monologues to develop action and emotional plot to bring the most out of an actor.

I'd love to see an evening of Gallant's monologues.
