Free Monologues

Welcome to the one of the largest collections of teen and youth monologues on the internet, available for free use in auditions and classroom work and all from plays published by YouthPLAYS. Browse dozens of monologues, sortable by genre (drama, comedy, dramedy) and gender.

How it Works

Auditions and the Classroom

These monologues are free for classroom and audition use.

1. Once you find a monologue (or monologues) that suits your needs, fill out the Request a Monologue form . Please make sure you use an email address that can receive outside emails and that your email account has available space! (Often, student accounts through a school are for internal use only, and our email will bounce, and we've had a number of people write from email accounts that are full. Those emails bounce too.)

2. We do our best to confirm permission within 2 business days, but sometimes it takes longer; give yourself time to hear back. Please make sure that you whitelist emails from the youthplays.com domain, or our email may get stuck in your spam filter!

3. If you'd like to read the entire play from which the monologue comes, click on the order link on each monologue's page to purchase a perusal copy!

4. Would you like to hear about the latest plays and news (and discounts!) from YouthPLAYS? You'll be asked as part of the Request a Monologue Form whether you'd like to opt-in to our email list. We promise not to email you too often and never to share your email.

5. Students, please tell your teachers or directors about YouthPLAYS! Teachers and directors, please consider our plays for production! Remember, our authors make their income from the licensing of their work for production and the payment of royalties. This allows them to create more great plays!

Thespys

We strongly encourage (but do not require) you to purchase the full script from which the monologue comes when you compete in Thespys. Reading it in its entirety gives you a better understanding of the character's place in the larger play, and your purchase supports the playwright who created the material.

On the , Request a Monologue Form select Audition and not Competition. Under "Additional Info," please state that this is for Thespys.

Forensics, Irene Ryans and Other Competitions

Purchase one copy (digital or printed) of the complete play from which the monologue comes per participant. If necessary, print this page as proof of permission to perform. Do NOT request a monologue through this page; just make your purchase.

Showcases, Reviews and Other Public Performances

P urchase one copy (digital or printed) of the complete play from which they come per participant and pay the Single Scene-Monologue Showcase Royalty (one per performance). Be sure to explain in the Note to the Publisher (this will be part of the ordering process) the specifics of your usage. If the play you wish to perform doesn't have the Single Scene-Monologue Showcase Royalty option listed, please to activate it for you. Do NOT request a monologue through this page; just make your purchase.

We regret that we are unable to provide specific monologue suggestions, as our time and staff are limited, and we feel that it's always best for you to read through our selections and find the piece that best fits you. So let's get to it: read on to find a great scene!

Every musical theatre performer should have at least one Golden Age musical theatre ballad in their audition book. Below, I've compiled a list of 100 great choices for sopranos and mezzos (most aren't extremely range-y and can often be sung by both voice types). Don't fret too much over whether your song choice is 'overdone'. When an audition notice asks for a Golden Age song, it usually means that production's creative team wants to hear you sing any musical theatre song written from approximately the 1920s through the mid 1960s. My advice is to worry less about whether your Golden Age song choice is 'overdone' and more about how you can put your own unique spin on it and stand out in audition rooms. The truth is, there are MANY completely valid ways to perform these songs today. Happy singing!
