Lines short as text-messages have a rhythm and specificity of description that creates this weirdly poetic effect. It's a monologue that's peculiar and funny like an Ashbery poem, but undeniably Carnes. A voice of an underappreciated Instacart driver emerges from the catalogue of foodstuff and consumer choice -- a necessary part of our survival -- a hero during this American tragedy.

An act of generosity has personal reprucussions for a landlord, an unexpected character for a monologue.
This monologues addresses an economic situation for many tenants from a surprising perspective. The fear of eviction and sudden proverty, not making month's renth makes this monologue current and produceable for years.

The playwright addresses catcalling of adult men on the streets in a surprising way - through the voice of young student - a young Black teenage girl that loves sonnets and poetry. This play makes you think about the sexual innuedo and metaphors of classic poetry and whether or not it's questionable.
This isn't uplifting, it's disturbing, but an important play about sexual harassment of young women - girls, actually.

This intense monologue, made so with every word and moment, really makes you think hard about how carelessness, even innocent, can end up being matter of life or death.
Another winner by Copper.

Wow. The dark comedy for this monologue reveals a disturbing personality. And it's sick-fun. Although not tagged with Halloween, there's creepiness and some blood that makes it perfect for a Halloween showcase.

I'd love to see this - ballerinas and Bigfoot, tutus and fur. Another crazy idea from Weaver with terrific results.
I'd love to see what happens after this scene.

An actress has a lot to work with here, plays various emotions, to bring this unusual woman to life.
The language has a dynamic power like Mother Courage.
Consider this for your monologue showcase.

A play for sci-fi geeks. Williams pillages the classics, old and new, and spoofs everything we love about the genre. The results is out-of-this-world bonkers fun.
If you're producing a sci-fi showcase, you have to do this play!

A first-love monologue that both charms and disturbs.

Most 'creepy' monologues don't leave an impression on me. This one did. The images it conjures up are the stuff of - not cliche horror films that I've seen - but of nightmares. And supposedly it's all true for the woman telling the story. Gets under your skin, jolts you, disturbs. Definitely creepy.
