Monologue

In an audition, you will most likely need a rehearsed monologue. In a monologue, one character speaks alone - perhaps giving us insight into the characters personal thoughts. The character may be speaking to another silent character (which, for an audition, may be imagined at the back of the house). In any case, you as an actor will be trying to get an important idea across for your character.

At auditions for The Play Group Theatre, each young actor is expected to have a prepared monologue 1-2 minutes in length.

Here are some sample monologues, each 1-2 minutes long. They have been written for/used in PGT shows, and can be used for auditions. Students and actors may use these monologues without requesting rights if used for an audition or classroom exercise. Performance rights ONLY need to be applied for if used for performance to an audience. They are copyrighted material. You must request performance rights or permission to print multiple copies from The Play Group Theatre.
