Great ideas! Grae, I saw that you created the library entry for Monologues. Something important to know is that currently, library entries in the Community aren't collaborative like Google Docs, so only the person who created it (or an Administrator) has the ability to edit or add to it. To me, that's an opportunity to experiment with the library feature. Here's how I think it could work:
People who wanted to submit a monologue suggestion can fill out Alan's form and send it to you, then you could add it to your existing library entry (if you're not sure how to do this, let me know and I'll send instructions, it's not difficult). If a ton get submitted to you, feel free to send some my way and I can help add them into the file too!
I turned Alan's form into a Smart Form to make it a little easier to fill out and send in online, it's attached. Let me know if you're interested and I'll help you all make it work!

Ah! You ROCK! Are you going to create a link or a dropbox file so that others could use it as a great resource? I'd LOVE to get a hold of your collection! You seem like such an awesome teacher! Continue to encourage your students to read read read!!

Funny you brought this up. I was actually getting ready to post a thread on something I've found to build the monologue "catalogue". I created a monologue information sheet that the students have to fill out and turn in with a copy of the monologue. I made my students do it the second semester and have around 800 monologues in a binder now.
I am posting the paper to get feedback from people as to how they would improve it. Whether it be different questions, different format, or areas not covered that someone would deem important. Feel free to offer any suggestions or to take and use as you wish.
I am also making one for scenes and thinking of doing one for musical numbers as well, although we already use the musicaltheatersongs.com for that.
As for a specific list for students from different schools, maybe creating a list on google docs could help. I always tell my students to read as much as possible.

Hello! I haven't been on Community for quite a while and I was browsing through the Library on here and it came to my attention that there isn't a Library Post for strictly Monologues. Being a college student about to graduate, monologues are something that I am constantly on the look for. If we (everyone on community) could add one or two monologues to the Library, that would rock!!!
I'm just looking out for the other high school & college students and grads who are always in need!
