A monologue from Anise’s Story by Natalie Osborne
(Female, Comedic, Teens – 20s)
When Barb, a girl about twelve, gets lost in the woods, she finds herself trapped in the lair of Anise, the Spider Queen! The only way for Barb to escape is to tell Anise a new story every night for seven nights. This is no easy task for the young storyteller, who finds herself pushing her imagination in ways she never thought possible. As Barb grows as a storyteller, so does her relationship with Anise. Their journey is one that explores love, loss, and the power of storytelling. It’s the second to last night of Barb’s imprisonment in Anise’s lair. During their time together, the two have grown very close, and Anise has even taught Barb how to leave stories into magical spider webs. This changes, however, when Anise pressures Barb into telling her a story about her mother.
A monologue from Stay by David-Mathew Barnes

Rindy is extroverted, unfiltered, and Southern.
A monologue from The Superhero Ultraferno by Don Zolidis

Join two nerds and a crack team of actors as they race hilariously through the world of tights-wearing crime fighters, from the 1960s TV Batman to the soap opera insanity of the Fantastic Four to a bizarre, German opera of Spiderman. The Scarlet Witch, a superhero in her late teens or early 20s, is competing for the position of Sorcerer Supreme. This is part of her speech at the competition; she is reminiscing about a first date.

Teenaged Catherine, whose parents are from different religious traditions, has been struggling with her own religious identity. She has just had a fight with a Jewish friend.
A monologue from Piñata Utopia by Christian Kiley
(Female, Comedic, Teens – 20s)
As entertaining as it may be to butcher “Happy Birthday” for the billionth time, nothing really compares to the rush of literally sticking it to the piñata. But while it may be all birthday fun and games for us stick-wielding humans, what is life like for the piñata? What are their hopes? Their fears? And is Piñata Utopia, that place where they’ll no longer have to suffer through brutal birthday celebrations, more than just a myth? For a group of our rainbow-tasseled friends, it may just be time to find out. A young girl stops the guests at her birthday party from hitting Princess Piñata by delivering this speech, which has a touch of Braveheart in it.
A monologue from Grow Up, Girls by Rex McGregor
(Female, Comedic, Teens – 20s)
In The Girl Who Would Rather Not Grow Up Just Yet, the first of three takes on coming of age that can also stand on their own, Wendy is a spoiled 16-year-old with a severe case of Peter Pan syndrome. A high school principal and two of her students deal with the aftermath of a cyberbullying case in Refloat Our Whale. And in Grow Up, Juliet, just as Shakespeare’s heroine is ready to join Romeo in death, she learns she is the victim of an elaborate hoax…Wendy, 16, a spoilt girl with a severe case of Peter Pan syndrome, has just discovered her governess, Nana, leaving with a suitcase.

Superheroine group A.W.S.U.M. (Amazing Women Saving Untold Millions) searches for new members after eighty percent of the original team is killed in an attack by villainess Suprema. Five unique young women attend the tryout, each ready to compete for a spot in the group, but a shocking plot is afoot (well, shocking for a comedy!): one of the recruits is actually a spy for Suprema, sent to kill the others and put an end to A.W.S.U.M. once and for all… Kathleen, teens or 20s, offers her opinion while auditioning for a superheroine group.
A Donut Daydream by Tara Meddaugh
(Female, Comedic, Teens – 20s)
Lulu is a girl of about 17 years old. It is about a month before her high school prom, and she is trying to lose weight to fit into a certain dress (or her mother won’t pay for the limo!). She is at the library, trying to study with her friend, but she is very hungry. She is dreaming of donuts and pitying those “poor children in Africa” (whose starvation she now apparently understands), and must decide if fitting into the blue dress and having her mom pay for the limo is worth it. Because jelly donuts are really really good…
A monologue from Radio Ball by Lauren Kettler
