Due to copyright restrictions, most contemporary monologues and/or scenes cannot be posted on the internet, alas, there really aren’t very many GOOD contemporary monologue/scene sites. We have a few listed below, but suggest getting the books for better options. If you find a good site that has contemporary monologues and/or scenes from published plays, we would love to know about it and would be happy to link it to this page.
		The WWW Virtual Library – Theatre and Drama Here you will find pointers to resources in more than 50 countries around the world, for professionals, amateurs, academics and students of all ages. The site attempts to be multi-cultural and multi-lingual. The site is updated daily. A great place to start. Ambermarie’s Monologues There are only a few (~15) on this page, but they are worth checking out. From plays and tv/film. Doug’s Monologues This site has a lot of great monologues – from film and stage. Make sure you know if you are getting a piece from a play or a film. Also, for some reason, the person who put this site together decided to give titles to each monologue. This is misrepresentation. If you ever present one of these monologues, make sure you know the name of play from which the monologue was extracted. Stage and Song This site doesn’t have tons of monologues, but the ones they have are solid. You can’t go wrong picking one from this site… just make sure you choose one that is suitable for your type.
