Synopsis

Here you will find a rich and varied selection of monologues for women, most of which are from plays which were produced and/or published in the 2017-2018 theatrical season. Many are for younger performers (teens through 30s) but there are some excellent pieces for older women as well. The age of the character is indicated in each monologue, but you will find that many may be done by actors of different ages. Some are comic, some dramatic. Some are rather short, some rather long. All represent the best in contemporary playwriting. Anna Ziegler, Chelsea Marcantel, Joshua James, Lindsey Ferrentino, Tira Palmquist, Clare Lizzimore, Greg Kalleres, Jacqueline Goldfinger, Don Nigro, Clare Barron, Joshua James, Deborah Laufer, Dominique Morisseau, Boni Alvarez, Sandra Daley-Sharif, Julie Myatt, Molly Metzler, Aaron Posner, Tanya Saracho, Rinne Groff, Steven Haworth, Anton Dudley, Meghan Gambling, Libby Emmonds, Gerry Sheridan, Sarah Ruhl, Kayla Cagan, Brooke Berman, Anna Wilcoxen, Torben Betts, Catherine Filloux, Guillermo Calderon, Andre Biss, Adam Szymkowicz, Alena Smith, Irene Kapustina, John Cariani, C.S.
