hi there! I very much need help finding a monologue for acting class, it can be comedic or dramatic. My age range is 14-17, and I want it to be from a play or musical! thanks so much <3

Advice from my Acting Teacher when I was in High School

1. Go to your local library

2. Get a huge stack of plays.

3. Skim them until you see a monologue (big sections of uninterrupted text, you can't miss them)

4. Read the monologue and see if it speaks to you.

5. If it does, read the rest of the play.

6. Enjoy your new monologue

I forgot to state that I'm a female, and I don't mind if it's comedic or dramatic, and preferably contemporary!

I don't have the play in front of me but August Osage County has a few  that Jean does that are comedic and dramatic. She is supposed to be 14 tho ( an overly sophisticated 14)

I know it's a little out of the age range you mentioned but Una's 6.5 page monologue in 'Blackbird' is heartbreaking and dramatic. Michelle Williams delivered it superbly last year.
