Question: Any good ideas for a monologue a minute or less long!?
I'm trying out for this new play called ZAP! at my high school and cannot seem to find any monologues!. I need it to be comedic and preferably a female part though it doesn't have to be!. Please and thank you!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
My favorite monologue is There's Got to Be a Better Way!. It's in this book called 101 One-minute Monologues or something like that!. The character is Faith, who has had the day from hell working at McDonald's with PMS, getting mad at a lady who has bugged her three times!. I've used it a number of times, and it's always funny!. Although, if you don't like it, if you find that book there are lots of other good ones in there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ok heres one-

its about an older sister tricking her little toddler sis into doing her chores for her!.

"Julie see this chart!? its a list of chores mom made!. it says things like "make your bed" and clean your room!. and each time i don one of these things mom gives me a star! a shiny star! A beautiful star!. sometimes even gold! look over here!. theres my name and-hey! your name isn't on her at all!. oh no! that means you can never ever EVER get any stars, thats not fair! i bet you'd love lots of pretty stars, wouldn't you!? mom must think you are too young to earn stars!. Hey! i have an idea! i will make a chart like this with YOUR name on it and keep it under your pillow!. then every time you clean up my room or make my bed i will give you THREE STARS! i'll feel kinda sad to only get one measly star from mom, but, i'll do it cuz i know it will make you happy!. want some silver stars right now!?! okay-go set the table!.
