  • 1.  Female Dramatic Monologue

    Posted 12-05-2016 14:27

    I am horrible at finding effective monologues for my students.  Anyone know of an outstanding female monologue 2-3 minutes long, preferably that can be enhanced with real tears? I have a super dramatic female in need of a great showcase piece for upcoming scholarship applications and such. She does best with child-20s age characters.  Thanks to all!

    There are some really strong monologues in And by Alan Haehnel and Voices In Conflict by Bonnie Dickinson. If she's up to it I'd look at And. There character Meredith deals with the subject of suicide. I also really like Tamora's speech in Titus

    There are some great ones, and some helpful links to others, here. (I wasn't able to paste the link as text in this comment.)

    Performerstuff.com is one such place she can do some searching for monologues from full plays.

    Crimes of the Heart - the character Babe

    Last Days of Judas Iscariot - Henrietta (I think; it's the monologue of Judas' mother)

    Two to start you off. :)
