This unsettling play with a complicated character is surprisingly a dark comedy. Or maybe not depending on the reader or audience member. Maybe just a disturbing horror of a monologue. What a great character for a young actor. Easy to produce. Check it out.

A one-of-a-kind role for a senior actress. A scene of unexpected sexy and shock that gives us a bit of Hollywood history.

Suspenseful in how it releases its details throughout. Perfect for a mystery or crime themed monologue festival. One of my favorites from Lermond, one of her longest.

This stressed out, multi-task juggling woman would be immediately relatable to many women in the audience. It can be produced with or without a circus-theme and tightrope. Well done!

Lermond spins memorable tales of dark comedy with dialog that captures a specific time, place and culture. Hilarious. Your audience will be laughing their butts off.

This would be so much fun to watch on stage this animated character with her big earrings moving around while she imitates the customer'sspeech at Drive thru. Sometimes you have to have a bad experience at a crappy job to know you deserve better and deserve to be in charge. Another winning monologue for a female.

Time, culture, place are not noted in this monologue. Or age or gender of speaker. And that is a good thing. This poetic monologue on winter has universal appeal and it's also timeless.

Like or hate the speaker, you'll find this Thanksgiving themed monologue really funny. Perfect fit for a monologue festival on Thanksgiving.

Deeply unsettling, full of questions unanswered adding to the creepiness of the security guard's assignment. This narration that captures setting, atmosphere and mood is stellar. This is a perfect choice for a mystery-themed monologue festival.

With only a page, Hageman captures a particular psychological state of a mother with drug abuse, creating a distinct personality. Without referencing certain place, city, culture, or age of character, the playwright has created a universal character who demands our empathy. Perfect fit for a festival on drug-abuse or motherhood. Another remarkable character from an expanding gallery of monologue characters.
