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.

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.

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.
