Resources for Monologues and Scenes
Due to copyright restrictions,
many monologues cannot be posted on the internet, alas, there really aren’t
very many GOOD monologue sites. Yes, that means, you will have to go to the
book store or local library and read some books to find the monologue that
is just right. FYI: Ms. Passey cannot vouch for the content of all these
sites...proceed with caution.
Monologues
The
Monologue Database-- Monologues from a wide variety of stage
plays/musicals. An excellent site!
The WWW Virtual Library –
Theatre and Drama -- Here you will find pointers to resources in more
than 50 countries around the world, for professionals, amateurs, academics
and students of all ages. The site attempts to be multi-cultural and
multi-lingual. The site is updated daily. A great place to start.
Script Archive: Monologues--Monologues from both classical and
contemporary plays
Ambermarie’s Monologues – There are only a few on this page, but they
are worth checking out.
Anne’s Page of Actor’s Monologues-- “This page was designed for actors,
like myself, in search of monologues for auditions, classes, etc. I'm trying
to include a good variety of monologues, from traditional to more...unique
content. No copyright infringements are intended--I've quoted and credited
the excerpts as accurately as I can. These should be for academic/personal
use only.”
Monologues, Mixed – This site has a lot of great monologues – from film
and stage. Make sure you are getting a piece from a play. Also, for some
reason, the person who put this site together decided to give titles to each
monologue. This is misrepresentation. If you ever present one of these
monologues, make sure you know the name of play from which the monologue was
extracted.
Shakespeare’s Monologues – I think the title says it all. P.S. An
excellent site.
Yahoo - Performing Arts - Monologues -- Yahoo's directory catergory for
monologues. Lots of very good sites (including some already linked here.)
Monologue
Archive-- Variety of monologues- from the classics to more contemporary
pieces
Movie & TV Script / Monologue Sites
Beware. Most festivals and
college auditions will NOT allow you to use a piece from a movie. In fact,
most theatres you will audition for require that you use a monologue from a
PLAY, not from a movie. With that in mind, check out these excellent sites
with caution.
Drew’s
Script-O-Rama –Drew’s site is considered one of the better movie script
sites on the web. TV scripts, movies scripts, you name it… plus, he’s adding
to the site all the time.
Colin’s Movie
Monologue Page – For most auditions, you need to use something from a
play, but on that off chance that you get to use something from a movie,
check this page out. They have tons of great monologues that have already
been extracted from movie scripts.
Twiz TV-- TV
scripts and transcripts from such shows as "Gilmore Girls", "The O.C.",
"Friends" (and many more). Looks like a great site.
SimplyScripts -
links to hundreds of free, downloadable scripts, movie scripts, screenplays,
and transcripts of current, classic and maybe a few soon-to-be-released
movies, television, anime, unproduced and radio shows. A screenwriter's
resource.
