Acting in Plays, Singing/female comedic monologue

Advertisement


Question
I am trying to find a monologue to do it front of 12 agencies.  I want something funny, witty, and surprising, for women 27-35.  I CAN't FIND ANYTHING!  Please help!


Answer
Try some plays by Caryl Churchill, like Cloud Nine or Top Girls.  She's British, so you would need a good dialect.

For something America, try Clean House by Sarah Ruhl or Living Out by Lisa Loomer.  Lisa Loomer has a lot of good stuff - try Living Out or Expecting Isabel or The Waiting Room.

Good luck!
