Monologue Mania - Blurbs by Janet S. Tiger © 2014-2019 all rights reserved
This page has a (constantly growing) list of all the monologues completed during the first year, second year! (and now beyond).
As of today, it covers from Feb. 13, 2014 (the start) to Feb. 11, 2019 Day # 1814
Note -
I sometimes run behind on the days....and the blurbs -okay, sometimes WAY behind on the blurbs!- but the titles and links are mostly current, and most of them go to the right place! And right now, I am at four years plus - and still going strong. It's like an addiction to writing monologues.
A brief blurb will give you an idea of the piece, and if you click on the title it will (hopefully!) take you to a page with the complete monologue, sometimes along with some background – and if possible, I will include staging suggestions. If the title is not linked, you can still find the monologue by clicking the month you want on the right side of the blog.
My earlier monologues have been tried out, have won prizes, been produced, so there is a charge - if you want a collection that includes my earlier work please check out MONOLOGUEZONE.com or for a lot of my work- www.PlaysByJanetSTiger.com
Way to find a specific title - use the Control F function to search for a specific title - or if you just want to look for roles for men use M (that's - space M space) or for women F (that's space F space) Or if you have trouble, the faster alternative -have a younger person help!

This page has a (constantly growing) list of all the monologues completed during the first year, second year! (and now beyond).
As of today, it covers from Feb. 13, 2014 (the start) to Feb. 11, 2019 Day # 1814
Note -
I sometimes run behind on the days....and the blurbs -okay, sometimes WAY behind on the blurbs!- but the titles and links are mostly current, and most of them go to the right place! And right now, I am at four years plus - and still going strong. It's like an addiction to writing monologues.
A brief blurb will give you an idea of the piece, and if you click on the title it will (hopefully!) take you to a page with the complete monologue, sometimes along with some background – and if possible, I will include staging suggestions. If the title is not linked, you can still find the monologue by clicking the month you want on the right side of the blog.
My earlier monologues have been tried out, have won prizes, been produced, so there is a charge - if you want a collection that includes my earlier work please check out MONOLOGUEZONE.com or for a lot of my work- www.PlaysByJanetSTiger.com
Way to find a specific title - use the Control F function to search for a specific title - or if you just want to look for roles for men use M (that's - space M space) or for women F (that's space F space) Or if you have trouble, the faster alternative -have a younger person help!
Day 1 - Naked On Stage
M/F Actor finds that exposing oneself to the audience can mean several things!
2- Valentine's Day Lament
M, younger Young man is annoyed to find that Valentine’s Day might not turn out as he had planned
3- Talking to Myself
F Middle-aged (whatever that means!) An advanced actor is required as this piece deals with several fast changes – of costume and heart
4- Pinned
F, older A woman is fascinated by the many different meanings of one word over the course of her life – and how it has changed
5- My Fault
M not so young, disheveled, stoned (you get the idea) How one moment can change a life – and whose fault is it anyways?
6- The Death Report
M (but could change easily for a female lead) Sick of the evening news? This is what it could be in just a few short years!
7- When Was President's Day?
M (Ben Franklin to be specific) Ben explains why the day and its meaning are still important
8- I Like Boys!
M (younger but has to age) A man has to tell his parents something important, but can he?
And will they listen?
9- The Senior Channel
M (could be female, too, has to be older) Everyone who has ever had trouble opening anything will appreciate this new idea …for an unusual show, and channel
10- iPhones for Peace!
F (older, feisty) A surprising idea for the modern age – crazy? Or possible – you be the judge
11- Solitary
M (younger, good shape, tattoos) Alone in a prison cell with only an extra pair of boxers and a special book – for how long can a person take it?
12- The First Pull
F (teenager) About a girl with a problem – one that has her wondering what to do next
13- Walking My Brain
M (older, British accent necessary) A gentleman enjoys a different kind of stroll
14- Solitary scene 2
