A collection of ten monologues for teenagers. Ideal for youth theatre groups. Can be performed in any order to create a complete production or see individual titles for solo performances.
Coin Toss
A teenage girl’s worst nightmare is realized when she discovers she’s pregnant. Further, she’s getting no help in deciding what to do from Joey, the boy she once imagined she’d spend the rest of her life with. Her methodical approach to weighing the pros and cons is challenged by the observation that her boyfriend has gone through his life thus far leaving everything to Fate. Maybe she should do the same?
Gilt by Association
Gilt By Association’ centers on a role that can be played by either gender and focuses on a current U.S. scandal you may have been following; specifically, parents who have paid large sums of cash to ensure their college-bound offspring get into the best universities. By the monologue's end, audiences are left to wonder just how much--or how little--the student knew about his/her parents' behind-the-scenes manipulations.
Phee and Hammie 4-Ever
Phee is a delightfully funny teenage girl with unrivalled ‘clueless ditziness’ as she celebrates her month-long relationship with the love of her life, Hammie.Her story-line will doubtless be familiar to audiences as the monologue progresses but we won’t tell you any more for reasons that will become obvious.

The TEENAGER is sitting on a park bench. S/he checks a cell phone, scowls, puts it back in pocket. It’s obvious s/he is waiting for someone who is late. Should this be cause for worry? Annoyance? Stress? Between the foot-tapping, the frenetic fidgeting and the soon-to-be pacing, it’s hard to tell whether this young person even wants to be here.

‘The problem with having older sisters is that when they get bored, they both go off the deep end and start doing really stupid stuff … and I’m not just talking about them messing around with my hair and makeup. I’m talking about stupid stuff like turning princes into frogs or putting entire kingdoms to sleep for a hundred years. And when they do this, they both expect me to be their plucky wingwoman. Do they ever listen, though? Of course not!’
