Using the horror genre and some humor to make us think about the concept of madness, who gets the right to label and abuse those deemed mad. And if we're labelled mad what does freedom look like? Well done again Lawing.

An amazing, playful spin on the woman leaving her man. Great images, fun word choice, catchy songs. A wonderfully constructed female character who you root for under 3 minutes. This should be a staple of any festival of Christmas monologues. Produce this!

Another beautiful monologue from the monologue master Alterman. A dramatic poem about a veteran asserting himself, his freedom.

An unexpected voice for a character, from a body part. To bring this to life you'd probably need a collaborative effort of various designers. Beautiful writing again from this playwright.

Lawing's new monologue is active and tightly structured with a surprising funny change at the end. Great audition piece or a selection for a festival on body image and women's issues.

Even under pressure of audition, this character asserts his identity -- identities. Beautiful piece.

This monologue captures the negative impact of appearance-bullying on one's emotional and physical health. Anyone who suffered with acne during the teenage years can connect immediately in some way with this character, the struggle and shameful feelings. Another impressive monologue by Keyes.

Where's the kink monologue festival? If you're interested in exploring taboo sex on your stage like bondage check out this monologue. We need more work like this that captures a side of sexuality and experimentation that most stages are afraid to explore.

A necessary Covid testimonial from the perspective of a school teacher. With believable delivery, we get a honest reflection on how the pandemic has changed how and what we teach and also shows us how anti-Asian hatred has creeped into the virtual classroom.

Ridiculous sisterly rivalry like you've never read/seen before. This would be a winner at any comedy festival, the audience would be in tears laughing their asses off.
