STONE COLD SOBER – MONOLOGUE FOR A YOUNG ACTOR

A one page monologue for a young actor about how it is to grow up with a father who is an alcoholic and continually going in and out of rehab all the time. The father is now seriously ill because of his drinking and this monologue is the final plea from a daughter to a father to stay sober, just so that they can have a little more time together. A great monologue that, although written with a female in mind could be used by either a male or female actor as a short audition piece for drama school or college.

An original monologue from Macee’s latest play “Stone Cold Sober” was selected by Smith and Kraus Publishing for print in their annual anthology series: “The Best Women’s Stage Monologues of 2017.

monologue about alcoholism

STUFFED PANDA – MONOLOGUE ABOUT ALCOHOLISM

A monologue about alcoholism for a single male or female actor. Riley is waiting in line and notices a father and daughter in the line in front. The father is being all goofy and the daughter is at that stage where she’s just totally embarrassed to even have her father with her. He secretly takes a panda and hides it behind his back as she tries to see what he’s doing.

They leave with the panda and Riley decides to call her/his dad. He answers but soon falls down and Riley realises it’s not the first time he’s fallen down, too drunk to stand, and that Riley was never that child with the panda and never would be.

A sad monologue about growing up with a parent who is an alcoholic.

monogue about being a stripper

UNDRESSED – MONOLOGUE ABOUT BEING A STRIPPER

Nobody chooses to be a stripper or hooker. In most cases, girls (or guys) end up doing it because they’re trying to make ends meet. But they all have their big dreams. In Zoey’s case, she writes music and is just waiting for her big break. In this monologue about being a stripper cum hooker, Zoey is determined to make enough money this New Years so she volunteers to work on the day that nobody really wants to be working. The bar is eerily quiet, and the only customer is a bald man none of the girls want but who they are all determined to get some money out of. Then Zoey sees him – sitting at the end of the bar. He gorgeous and a music producer as well.

But what will happen. Will Zoey finally realise her dream or get her heart broken?

short female monologue about working out

STATIC – SHORT FEMALE MONOLOGUE ABOUT WORKING OUT

Picture the following scenario: You hate…no, you loathe exercise. You just don’t see the point – for you it’s all pain and very little gain. And those fitness buffs? The people who talk about the rush they get when they’re exercising as if they actually enjoy it? Hate them too.

So imagine your complete and utter surprise when you’re set up on a blind date with a personal trainer. The horror. Poor guy – he just has no idea what’s about to come down on him.

A funny short female monologue about working out (and hating it).
