Acting Plays for Performing Arts School Students helps actors find published play scripts for drama school programs.

You may be auditioning or already enrolled in a school for drama, and are in need of finding new contemporary monologues from plays to study and work on.

You may also be in need of acting scenes from plays when working with a scene partner for drama class.

Monologue Blogger has a significant database of modern plays you may use for your acting needs.  We specialize in crafting character driven stories for a wide range of genres and subject matter.

Acting Plays for Performing Arts School Students

One of the most important core values of Monologue Blogger is working on stories we feel will give resonance to the actor’s voice.

For us, it’s about creative discovery and exploration.  Our goal is to supply the content that you may find worthy of your time and talent.

We always like to point out that our monologues and scenes are free to use when auditioning, or for study while taking up drama lessons.

Our scripts and monologues are shared on our website, so you can have an easier time finding material you connect with, and faster access to roles you would like to play.

Here at MB, we have been fortunate to help out actors, as well as drama teachers, find new plays that hopefully provide substance and education.

The short plays we are suggesting below all have free monologues attached to them, giving you the text needed to see if you would like to work further on the play.

You will also find scenes from acting plays after the monologue section.
