Monologues For Teens Auditioning
And aren’t we told – excuse me, Reverend – aren’t we told in Psalm 149 to
“praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song. Let them praise his Name in
the dance?” (He looks to Shaw who, stunned, slowly sits.) And it was King
David… King David who we read about in Samuel. And what did David do?
What did David do? (Stalls, trying to find the passage:) What did David do? (He
finds it.) Ah! “David danced before the Lord with all his might. Leaping and
dancing before the Lord.” (Shows the Bible to the Council Members.) Leaping
and dancing. And Ecclesiastes assures us that, “There is a time to every purpose
under heaven – a time to laugh and a time to weep. There is a time to mourn and
there is a time to dance.” There was a time for this law, but not anymore. And this
is our time. Our time to celebrate life. That’s the way it was in the beginning, the
way it’s always been and that’s the way it should be now. Thank you.
Comedic Monologues
JANICE. I'm in the accelerated track and I was supposed to take my AP French test and
my AP Chem test that day. So I was pretty nauseous all week. The day before, it was
so bad I thought I had cholera or maybe bubonic plague—the European History AP is
supposed to be this week, so I know what I'm talking about. I actually drove myself
halfway to the ER, but then I remembered how long I had to wait when I fractured my
wrist in third grade and the truth is I just could not afford to lose the study time. Actually,
that wasn't so bad—my wrist I mean. It was career day and Mr. Valenti—Devin's
dad—was doing this demonstration, so I got to drive to the hospital in the fire truck. My
dad doesn't usually do career day on account of his career. But in this case, there was
no fire truck and there were the APS to consider, so I just took about sixty-three Tums
and a bottle of Pepto-Bismol and I went back to my digital flashcards.
