FAQ | News & Updates | Mailing List | Submission Guidelines The Monologue Database was created by Kellie Powell and is maintained by These Aren't My Shoes Productions. It is intended to be a resource for actors, and a way to help playwrights promote their work. If you are looking for full-text monologues, there is a selection of original and authorized monologues, as well as monologues in the public domain available listed here. The Database is currently seeking permission from several playwrights and publishers so that their monologues can be included on this site. We cannot include the text of monologues on our this page until we get permission, but you can click on the accompanying link to find the play on Amazon. Each play has at least one excellent monologue, and many have several. Every play listed makes a good addition to an actor's library. If you are an author listed below, or hold the copyright to a listed play, please contact Kellie Powell at your earliest convenience.
