Where can I find a 2-3 minute long, female solo monologue?

Question

I need one from a play for my acting class. Shakespeare is a no-no. Please help.

Answer 1

There's a play called "and they dance real slow in jackson" about a girl with muscular dystrophy, her monologues in it are really emotional and dramatic but quite challenging. look it up, they're good if you have a strength in bringing on the tears. Otherwise, if you're looking for comedy, try a play called "shakers" or find some of the LAMDA set exam pieces, there'll be a huge selection of monologues there.

Answer 2

The play "Talking With" by Jane Martin. This play consists of 11 monologues of different women who have their own conflicts and their different coping mechanisms. I got a comedy out of here that got me a lead part in a play. And since there are 11, I'm sure you can find one that will fit the character you're auditioning for.
You will have the chance to cut down and pick what you want out of each monologue, as they are rather lengthy.

Answer 3

Check out Monologue Search @ http://www.monologuesearch.com

We are compiling a massive database of monologue with a growing community of members. You can search monologues by author, play, period, type, gender, etc. If you can't find something on the site, feel free to send me a note and I'll do my best to give you a recommendation!

Answer 4

Emily's speech at the end of Our Town by Thornton Wilder may work, but you will have to cut out some of the other lines. Don't worry about the cuttings--it still works as one long monologue.

Answer 5

Try a book on tape from the library with a cast or female reader.
