I am looking for a website that provides free monologues and/or entire or partial scripts. I need them sooner than my library can get them to me. Mostly, I am looking for particular monologues to put in a show I am doing. Here they are should anyone want to cough them up for me: "Clear Glass Marbles", Talkiing With, Jane Martin; "Give Me Back My Stuff", For Colored Girls Who've Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Isn't Enuf; "Phillip", Parallel Lives; the Kathy and Mo Show; Kate/"I must forsooth...", Taming of the Shrew, Shakespeare. Holla ------------- Blithe |

With the exception of the Shakespeare and anything published prior to 1923 (these works would be in public domain) it's doubtful that you would obtain permission for use of any of these monologues in a show for free. Unless otherwise stipulated, just because something may be publicly accesable on-line does not mean nor even imply that the material is in the public domain and therefore they can not be re-purposed without permission. It's the same as if the monologues were taken from the script in print. If the owner of the web site did the right thing they too secured permission before posting it to the site. Ya play, ya pay.
The main thing is that you must secure permision before performing them in a show. ------------- BD
