A reflection on milestone ages with surprising depth and humor. So many great lines and yes-moments of recognition.

I had the opportunity to hear Scott at MONOMANIA deliver this monologue with raw intensity and emotion. Atmospheric, harrowing and, surprisingly, relatable. A physical, full-bodied performance. You definitely should consider this monologue for a theme on trauma, PTSD, or city themes.

One of the most powerful, devasting monologues written during this pandemic. Baker has given us a fully-realized character that develops before our eyes, breaking our heart with his unanswered questions, his mistreatment by the hospital and his setbacks after the death of his loved one.

The fun would be watching the face and the reactions of the babysitter reading the letter of instructions. What has she got herself into?

Delightful! Just perfect for toddlers, pre-k and Kindergarten kids! Yes, a monologue for them to enjoy! There is a physicality here that an adult performer would love.

With its emotional range, its outbursts, its desperation, this physical monologue would make use of space. A fully body monologue. Funny that she's complaining like a raccoon when's kind of acting like one. Entertaining. Hilarious.

This shouldn't be funny, but it is. Black comedy. Its reveals are surprising and the way it focuses on expectations of women and motherhood is also surprising. It does a lot in just a page!

The tenderness of her profession, the intimacy, the care, the beauty contrasts everything about gun violence. This monologues reminds us that gun violence and unrestricted gun laws result in unnecessary loss, mourning and tragedy that takes away from this world something beautiful -- like this woman who trained horses. Another beautiful monologue from Carnes who is one of the best working with the language line by line.

Lermond does a fine job with details to capture a sense of place and an event for her character's glorious, goddess-like transformation. Another winning monologue in a series of monologues with empowered female characters.

An uplifting monologue, transformative with its soaring poetry. Beautiful imagery that'll be in your head a for a long time. This would an amazing play for designers - costume, lightning, media.
