Abstract:
Here you will find a rich and varied selection of monologues for men, most of which are from plays which were produced and/or published in the 2017-2018 theatrical season. Many are for younger performers (teens through 30s) but there are some excellent pieces for older men as well. The age of the character is indicated in each monologue, but you will find that many may be done by actors of different ages. Some are comic, some dramatic. Some are rather short, some rather long. All represent the best in contemporary playwriting. The monologues include those by Chelsea Marcantel, Stephen Bittrich, Caridad Svich, Greg Kalleres, Jacqueline Goldfinger, Don Nigro, Dominique Morisseau, Gary Richards, Steven Haworth, Barret O Brien, Joseph Krawczyk, Sandra Daley-Sharif, Steve Koppman, Molly Smith Metzler, Erik Christian Hanson, Aaron Posner, Deborah Savadge, Penny Jackson, Neal Reynolds, Tanya Saracho, Andre Biss, Brian Park, Richard Nelson, Michael Bradford, Kermit Frazier, Rhea MacCallum, John Patrick Bray, Anthony Clarvoe, Cary Gitter, Vincent Amelio, Susan Cinoman, Susan Eve Haar, Guillermo Calderon, Molly Kirschner, Leslye Headland, David Eliet, C.S.
