Contemporary Monologues for Audition and Competition
What if finding spectacular monologues were as easy as rubbing a magic lamp?
Hi, I'm Gabriel Davis creator of Monologue Genie - a website designed to help you find great audition monologues fast.
Why did I create such a website? Because, basically, I feel your pain. Before earning my MFA in Playwriting from Carnegie Mellon School of Drama, I was an acting major and I can't begin to tell you how many hours I spent searching through monologue books for the right material. If only finding great audition pieces had been as easy as rubbing a magic lamp. Hopefully, with me on your side to help, it can be!
Peruse the monologue categories below to find the perfect monologue for you. Happy hunting!

But before you peruse the monologue categories below .... a moment to discuss COVID-19. If you are out there and struggling remember, you still have your love of acting and theatre, your creativity, your sense of play ... take inspiration from Cole Kiker and his friends in this video ... I know I did! THE SHOW MUST GO ON, but safely, from isolation!!!
