  • 1.  Male monologues about Home

    Posted 02-04-2025 21:16

    Hello! I've got a student working on a showcase project where he needs about 6 monologues about "home". That's his chosen central theme, and he's pretty attached to it. He's already selected "Wedding Song" from Hadestown, the "All the World's a Stage" monologue from As You Like It, and the opening monologue in Shadowlands. Any other suggestions for him? Anything you think might be helpful probably is! Thanks in advance

    How about the Stage Manager's opening monologue from Our Town? 

    Cheers, Linda

    A few years ago, the actor, Mark Baumgartner, performed my monologue "Hamstering" for Talking Horse Productions.  He also performed it at Equity Library Theater of New York's Summer Play Festival.  Here is a video recording of his Talking Horse performance:

    If you like it, let me know and I can send you the script.
