Abstract:
Here you will find a rich and varied selection of monologues for women from plays which were produced and/or published in the 2015-2016 theatrical season. Most are for younger performers (teens through 30s) but there are also some excellent pieces for older actors as well. Some are comic, some are dramatic. Some are short, some are long. All represent the best in contemporary playwriting.
